Known issues on the 2018 CTS. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, both for the electric power steering (EPS) assist system: GM found the EPS assist may fail, and a loss of assist can require greater steering effort, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 8 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the EPS system are here.
