STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles. The power steering assist may be lost due to a poor electrical connection within the steering gear assembly.
- What it can cause
- A loss of power steering, particularly at lower speeds increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace steering gear torque sensor cover assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 6, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N202325410.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 60,681 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 90% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2015, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the steering 50 times before this, most recently in August 2020 as 20V515000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 790 complaints with NHTSA, 497 of them before this campaign was filed. 580 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2014, 6 years before this filing.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on March 25, 2021 as campaign 21V213000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
