2014 electric power steering recall

List of vehicles involved in General Motors 2014 recall | OregonLive.com
57,242 2014 Chevrolet Impalas equipped with belt-drive electric power steering. On certain vehicles, customers may experience reduced or no power steering assist at start-up or while driving due to a poor electrical ground connection to the Power Steering Control Module. If power steering is lost, a warning message is displayed on the Driver Information Center and a chime sounds. Steering control can be maintained because the vehicle will revert to manual steering mode, but would require greater driver effort particularly at low vehicle speeds. Paint may have seeped behind the nut on the power steering control module ground stud. Dealers will inspect and clean paint from behind the ground nut, re-torque the nut and update the power steering control module software at no charge. GM is aware of one crash but no injuries or fatalities related to this condition.

Not sure
It doesn't sound too bad. . But I doubt dealerships have instructions yet as this was just announced?
I'm at 2200 miles. Might as well get my oil changed too.

If only I had told my wife to put off getting the oil changed and tires rotated for another week or so... That's another half day wasted for her, sitting in the waiting room at the dealership.

Eyel1liner, half a day wasted? My wife brought our 2014 impala for the exact same service at our local/selling dealer. She was in and out in about 40 minutes. I am extremely impressed how well this dealer operates.
