What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with electric power steering. The driver may experience a sudden loss of power steering assist that could occur at any time while driving.
Why it matters: If power steering assist is lost, it would require greater driver effort at low vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the electric power steering motor free of charge. Owners are being notified on a rolling basis between March 29 through November 2010. A copy of the mailing schedule is located in the recall file.
