- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2015224
- Manufacturer's number: 15S18
- Reported: 2015\-05\-27
- Component: Steering
- Notification type: Safety TC
- Units potentially affected: 25195

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a fault in the Electric Power Steering \(EPS\) system could result in an immediate loss of power steering assist without warning to the driver. This would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle at lower vehicle speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs as necessary and will reprogram the EPS controller with updated software. In the event that an EPS fault occurs, this updated software would allow for continued EPS function while displaying visual and audible warnings to the driver until the end of the drive cycle.
