Yeah recall 10183A only covered '05, '06 and '08. Problem is there all the time? Usually will work after you turn the car off, cancel RAP (open and close drivers door) and sometimes wait one minute before turning the key on. Really, most of the time just turn the car off and right back on is sufficient to clear the condition temporarily. Most of these were bad assist motors.

I am having the same issue here. Just spoke to a service tech at local GM dealership and she stated that there are no service recalls or special policies on my vehicle. It is a 2009 and I'm getting close on mileage. Any ideas on this or is it safe to continue to drive it? PS still works just fine, however it flashes the message! :(

VIN - 9F234448
Mileage - 976xx

Mine was the power steering as the 4 cyl has no pump it is electric which differs from the v6 which has a pump.Being electric they replaced the module for 480.00 and 229.00 in labor.Also check engine light was on which was camshaft solenoid and air valve.Mileage was 84,806.Yes no recall or service bulletins.Just faced to pay on your own.So being the only car needed a loaner also,total bill was 928.67.Great Christmas present!
