DETROIT, Mich. (March 31, 2014) — General Motors issued a new recall Monday for more than 1.3 million U.S. vehicles that could experience a sudden loss of power steering.
The recall affects seven GM models manufactured between 2004 and 2010 as well as service parts installed in certain vehicles.

“Depending on the vehicle, GM will replace free of charge either the power steering motor, the steering column, the power steering motor control unit or a combination of the steering column and the power steering motor control unit,” the company said in a release.
GM expects to take a $750 million charge in the first quarter on recall-related repairs, including February’s ignition switch recall.
