no recall, but there was a bulletin. wasn't recalled because they determined that it wasn't a safety issue, rather and "inconvenience." there is a replacement for the intermediate steering shaft that eliminates the clunking/ratcheting feeling.
there is but it just puts lube in the intermediate shaft
Check the recall on the problem with the power steering pinion shaft....maybe what u need instead recall #02v286000 (try motor trend.com or google it)
I have a 2006 Ion - the power steering went out. My dealer said that this was a common problem - Saturn was working on a recall. They took care of replacing the steering column - no charge.
If you have a 6 speed and the steering wheel is unlocked then the only problem is you have to reset the message everytime. Assuming you had the dealer remove the lock pin in the column during the recall. Automatic Vette models is another problem where the steering could lock up.
There is a recall on that item, they should fix it free.
More than likely the electric steering motor under the steering column. If your are in the UK, go to a dealer and get them to use the examiner to check. There were units that were superseded by Fiat for failing (NOT a recall!)
If I recall properly you can just drop the column down onto the seat but you might want to remove the steering wheel just to be safe in the event that there is not enough clearance. Don't forget if its an automatic to remove the little string that operates the PRNDL indicator.
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there was no specific recall for the steering column of the 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, vehicle recalls can change, so it's important to check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website or contact a Chevrolet dealership for the most current information. Always ensure your vehicle is up to date with any safety recalls for your safety.
There was actually a recall for the power steering. It is covered by the dealership and should be fixed at no cost to you. The recall said the power steering assist will go out and the power steering light will go on.
