The Problem: The electrical connectors for the electronic power steering system may not be properly sealed, which may cause water to enter and corrode the connectors enough to lose power steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect and correct the seal seating as well as secure the electronic power steering connector seals for free.
