JTEKT is recalling approximately 423 Electronic Power Steering Systems because the bolts connecting the power steering unit to the steering rack may be improperly tightened. This defect can cause the steering gear to lock up completely while driving, leading to a total loss of steering control. To resolve this safety issue, dealers will replace the entire steering gear assembly at no cost to the owner.
If the bolts connecting the steering components loosen or fail, the steering gear can jam or lock. This prevents the driver from being able to steer the vehicle, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
