What’s Wrong
The electric power steering system may still be set in the factory operating mode. In this condition where another defect arises with the electric power steering system the driver may experience additional unexpected steering inputs from the electric power steering system. These additional system generated steering inputs may exceed the ability of a normal driver who may lose vehicle control with no warning. This can increase the risk of a crash.
