Buick Regal: Steering

Affects Buick Regal · 2016 — about 12 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, a circuit board in the power-steering assist’s power module could fail and could result in a sudden loss of electric power steering while driving. Steering control can be maintained, as the vehicle will revert to a manual steering mode, but will require greater driver effort. The sudden change in steering effort may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the electric belt drive rack and pinion steering gear assembly.
