General Motors is recalling 1,826 model year 2015-2016 Chevrolet Caprice Police Pursuit (PPV) and SS vehicles.

Corrosion of the connector between the electric power steering module and the torque sensor connector may cause a loss of electric power steering assist.

A greater steering effort would be needed to control the vehicle if power steering is lost, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gear assembly free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin June 22, 2020.

Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at (800) 222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N192285350.
