The problem: affected Camaro and Corvette cars were built with a defective printed circuit board in the steering gear assembly which can cause the power steering assist feature to malfunction.

Raymond Boyd//Getty Images GM first heard about this issue after NHTSA personally asked the automaker to investigate a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro that exhibited a steering gear failure earlier this year.

It all started with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which asked GM to investigate a customer-submitted complaint alleging a steering gear failure in a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro.
