## Narrative
Vehicle suddenly loses power steering without warning.  The power steering module is connected to the CAN bus which errors everything else on the same network so stabilitrack, traction control, ABS, etc goes out all at the same time.   On icy roads, this caused to hit the ditch at very high speed.  What I don’t understand is why you only forced a recall on the 2015 MY when the 2016’s use the same exact components and assembly process.  Clearly this is still an issue for many 2016 owners!
