Summary
The Chevrolet SS has 5 recalls covering all 2014-2016 model years, with the most serious being a corrosion defect in the electric power steering system where the connection between the steering module and torque sensor can fail, causing the power assist to cut out and requiring significantly more physical effort to steer.
The power steering issue on 2014-2016 models generated multiple recall campaigns because earlier repair attempts did not fully resolve the problem. The connector between the electric power steering module and the torque sensor can corrode and drop out, leaving the driver with heavy, unassisted steering. A prior inspection-only remedy proved insufficient, and a subsequent hardware repair also had incomplete results, leading to further corrective action.
The other recurring issue on 2014-2016 models involves the driver's front seatbelt. The tensioner cable can bend repeatedly over the seat's side shield each time the driver gets in and out, fatiguing the cable until it separates. If that happens, the seatbelt pretensioner cannot properly restrain the driver in a crash. As with the steering issue, an earlier repair attempt was found to be improperly performed in some cases, prompting a follow-up recall to address vehicles where the first fix did not hold.
