8 recalls across 3 model years
The Chevrolet SS has 8 recalls covering the 2014–2016 production run, with the most serious being an electric power steering defect on 2014–2016 models where corrosion at the connector between the steering module and torque sensor can cause power assist to drop out, requiring significantly more physical effort to steer.
The power steering issue generated multiple recall campaigns across the 2014–2016 model years, including a follow-up after an earlier inspect-only remedy proved insufficient to fully resolve the problem. When assist is lost, the steering wheel becomes noticeably heavier, particularly at low speeds and during parking maneuvers.
On the occupant restraint side, 2014–2016 models have two related seatbelt concerns. The driver's seatbelt tensioner cable can fatigue and separate as it bends repeatedly over the seat side shield when the driver gets in and out of the vehicle. If the cable breaks, the belt cannot tighten in a crash and the driver is less effectively restrained. A prior repair attempt for this issue was found to have been improperly performed in some cases, prompting a second campaign to address vehicles that went through the earlier fix. Separately, a faulty airbag control module on 2014–2016 vehicles can prevent the front airbags and seatbelt pretensioners from firing in a crash that would normally trigger them, leaving both the driver and front passenger without full restraint protection.
The 2014 model year has an additional airbag concern where the front airbag can deploy with more force than intended, raising the risk of injury to the occupant during a crash.
