  9. Power steering assistance may stop

    Reported October 4, 2016Model years 2012–2015DVSA recall R/2016/1844,556 vehicles affected

    Wear debris and oxidation at an electrical connection may interrupt contact, causing power steering assistance to stop and the warning light or sound to activate. The steering control unit and wiring harness will be replaced.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE MAY BE LOST
    Defect
    Under certain conditions the electrical terminal of the wiring harness connected to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the EPS slide causes abrasion on the tin-plating layer of the connector. This can cause wear debris to form which can accumulate and become oxidized. Occasionally the driver�s knee may press against the lower cover when entering or exiting the vehicle causing the cover to press against the EPS wiring harness. This contact may result in the connector terminal sliding onto the �electrical insulator� (oxidized accumulation) resulting in electrical contact failure. The EPS ECU then turns on the EPS warning light/sound and steering assist stops.
    Remedy
    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the EPS ECU and EPS harness.
