General Motors (GM) has announced a voluntary recall affecting 934 vehicles that were manufactured from July 1, 2016, to September 11, 2017 in the United States due to a potential defect in the electric power steering (EPS) system. The recall, includes certain 2016-2018 Cadillac CTS, 2017-2018 Cadillac ATS, 2017-2018 Chevrolet Camaro and 2017-2018 Chevrolet Corvette models.

According to the report filled by GM to NHTSA said, General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in certain: 2016 – 2018 model year Cadillac CTS and 2017 – 2018 model year Cadillac ATS and Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette vehicles. These vehicles may experience a loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist while driving. Loss of EPS assist may last an entire ignition cycle, but may return once the vehicle is restarted.
