STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
A loss of power steering, particularly at lower speeds increases the risk of a crash.
8 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 401 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A loss of power steering, particularly at lower speeds increases the risk of a crash.
A damaged fuel line can create a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
An improperly inflated air bag increases the risk of injury in a crash.
A loss or reduction in power steering assist may increase the risk of a crash.
If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
If the seat-frame attachment hooks are not secured properly, the seat may not be adequately anchored to the vehicle, and in the event of a crash, the seat occupant could be at an increased risk of an injury.
Two 2015 GMC CANYONs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
