Defect summary | General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2014 chevrolet impala vehicles manufactured november 5, 2012, to december 20, 2013. Due to a poor electrical ground connection to the power steering control module (pscm), the affected vehicles may have a loss of power steering assist during start up or while driving. |
