General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/general motors) is recalling a total of 67,414 sedans in Canada (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/canada) for power steering failures. The campaign covers 2005, 2006 and 2008 Chevrolet Malibu (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/malibu) and Malibu Maxx models as well as Pontiac G6 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/pontiac g6) vehicles. The 2008 Saturn Aura (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/saturn aura) is also included in the recall. Transport Canada says while power steering may fail, drivers will still be able to maintain control of their vehicle with additional steering effort. Owners will be notified of the failure by a chime and an illuminated warning light on the instrument panel.
Neither GM (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/gm) nor Transport Canada is saying what causes the failures, though the automaker has agreed to replace the steering column in 2005 and 2006 models, while 2008 vehicles will receive new power steering motor control modules. You can view the complete recall notice (http://www.motorgen.com/2012/10/03/gm-recalls-67k-epsilon-vehicles-in-canada/#continued) from Transport Canada below for more information. It is unclear whether or not U.S. vehicles will see a similar recall.Continue reading GM recalling 67k Chevy Malibu, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura models in Canada (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/03/gm-recalling-67k-chevy-malibu-pontiac-g6-and-saturn-aura-models/)
