{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2012331","date":"2012-10-01","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Steering","summary":"Certain vehicles equipped with electric power steering may experience a sudden loss of power steering assist that could occur at any time while driving.  If the power steering assist is lost, a message is displayed on the Driver Information Centre and a chime sounds to inform the driver.  Steering control can be maintained, as the vehicle will revert to a manual steering mode, but requires greater driver effort at low vehicle speeds. Unless a driver compensates for this additional steering effort, loss of power steering assist may increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Vehicles will receive a special extended warranty coverage for a period of 10 years/240,000 km, whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership.  Under this special coverage program, for 2005 & 2006 model year vehicles, dealers will replace the steering column.  For 2008 model year vehicles, dealers will replace the power steering motor control module.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"12221","part_number":null,"units":67414,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Superseded","french":{"component":"Direction","notification":"Remplacé","summary":"La direction assistée électrique de certains véhicules pourrait soudainement cesser de fonctionner pendant que le véhicule roule. Dans un tel cas, un message s'afficherait sur le centralisateur informatique de bord et un carillon de rappel retentirait pour informer le conducteur. Le contrôle de la direction pourrait être maintenu, car le véhicule retomberait en mode de direction manuel, mais la direction du véhicule nécessiterait un plus grand effort de la part du conducteur à basse vitesse. À moins que le conducteur ne compense pour cet effort de direction supplémentaire, une perte d'assistance pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les véhicules se verront attribuer une couverture de garantie prolongée spéciale pour une période de 10 ans/240 000 km, selon la première éventualité, à partir de la date à laquelle le véhicule a été mis en service pour la première fois, peu importe la propriété. Dans le cadre de ce programme de couverture spécial, pour les véhicules de 2005 et de 2006, les concessionnaires devront remplacer la direction assistée. Pour les véhicules de 2008, les concessionnaires devront remplacer le module de commande du moteur de la direction assistée."},"vehicles":[{"year":2005,"make":"CHEVROLET","model":"MALIBU","vehicle_id":"2005_chevrolet_malibu","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2006,"make":"CHEVROLET","model":"MALIBU","vehicle_id":"2006_chevrolet_malibu","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2008,"make":"CHEVROLET","model":"MALIBU","vehicle_id":"2008_chevrolet_malibu","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2005,"make":"CHEVROLET","model":"MALIBU MAXX","vehicle_id":"2005_chevrolet_malibu","match":"base","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2006,"make":"CHEVROLET","model":"MALIBU MAXX","vehicle_id":"2006_chevrolet_malibu","match":"base","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2008,"make":"CHEVROLET","model":"MALIBU MAXX","vehicle_id":"2008_chevrolet_malibu","match":"base","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2005,"make":"PONTIAC","model":"G6","vehicle_id":"2005_pontiac_g6","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2006,"make":"PONTIAC","model":"G6","vehicle_id":"2006_pontiac_g6","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2008,"make":"PONTIAC","model":"G6","vehicle_id":"2008_pontiac_g6","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2008,"make":"SATURN","model":"AURA","vehicle_id":"2008_saturn_aura","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2012331"}
