General Motors Recalling 800,000 Pickups for Steering Defect

The company says the vehicles can temporarily lose electric power steering assist, especially during low-speed turns. If that happens, the driver could lose control of the steering wheel.

The recall affects trucks from the 2014 model year. Most of the vehicles were sold in the U.S., but roughly 100,000 were sold in other markets.

General Motors will notify owners about the recall. Dealers will update the electric power steering software for free.
