Recently, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved a recall of 6,200 2014-16 Chevrolet SS sedans due to a faulty steering system tie rod, causing the electric power steering system to lose its effectiveness.

Tie rod is a ball joint type part that functions in combination with the steering mechanism and the driving arm to guide and control the wheel according to the driver's wishes.

The error in the tie rod occurs because during the assembly process, the manufacturer did not follow the instructions and standards in lifting and moving the steering system's mechanism, causing the plastic bearing parts to deform, the tie rod system to collide with the metal shell and deform, and during long-term use, the tie rod becomes bent and cracked.

Vehicles with faulty tie rod systems are unsafe. The possibility of broken tie rods and loss of control while driving is very dangerous.

According to the latest information, about 6,200 Chevrolet SS sedans from 2014-16 with the above tie rod error need to be recalled to fix the error to avoid unfortunate incidents that may occur.

Chevrolet has not yet announced the details of the recall and repair time. All 2014-16 Chevrolet SS vehicles with this steering system defect will be inspected and have their tie rods replaced free of charge at all of the company's dealers.
