Defect

On the electric power steering control unit, the mounting holes in the control board were machined incorrectly, causing deformation of the board on some units. Continued use may cause solder joints on the control board to separate, illuminating the warning lamp and disabling steering assist, which increases the steering effort required.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, verify the serial number of the control unit and, if the unit is within the affected range, replace it with a conforming part.
