This happened to me as I was about to leave Kerbeck's with a new '17 in Sept. of that year. Contrary to the article linked to above, there was NO indication of a problem on the dash or otherwise... just no ps.
To Kerbeck's credit, they had an identical '18 they redid the paperwork for so I could still get on the road (1500 mile trip home) in a timely fashion, for the same price. Minus 1 for GM, plus 1 for Kerbeck!

Good luck to those 2017 owners affected by the recall. Just glad it is not for the 2014 model year.

Sounds like its a control board. Why would the steering rack need to be replaced? Different sensor for the board? Or just all one piece?
Looks like it affects 6,259 vettes. How do we check? Call the dealer?

In practice though, the dealer tech and service department will be blamed for all subsequent alignment related problems.
Imagine you do this job, then set the car up on the alignment rack, and everything is out of whack but you only adjust the toe setting.

Well revisit this thread once the repairs are done and let us know what happened. Do they replace the steering rack ? Did they try and get you to pay for the alignment ? Ect … .

The last sentence of the article linked in the first post. Its possible the rack does not need to be replaced, but that's not the way it sounds in the article.
