General Motors is recalling over 1.5 million vehicles that could experience a sudden loss of power steering, according to Reuters.
The news comes the night before company CEO Mary Bara will testify before Congress over recent recalls.
The power steering recall increases GMs number of recalled cars in 2014 to 6.26 million vehicles, according to Reuters.
"Steering control can be maintained because the vehicle will revert to manual steering, but greater driver effort would be required at low vehicle speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash," GM said in a statement.
Over 1.3 million vehicles of the 1,508,445 vehicles recalled are in the U.S.
To make matters worse, three of the six vehicles recalled are also involved in the now controversial ignition switch recall of 2.6 million vehicles worldwide.
The three vehicles included in both recalls are the 2010 Cobalt compact, 2009-'10 Chevrolet HHR compact, and 2004-'07 Saturn ION compact, according to Reuters.
Vehicles listed in the recall includes:
-Chevrolet Malibu: All model year 2004 and 2005 vehicles, and some from model year 2006, 2008 and 2009.
-Chevrolet Malibu Maxx. All model year 2004 and 2005 vehicles, and some from 2006.
-Chevrolet HHR: Some non-turbocharged models from 2009 and 2010.
-Chevrolet Cobalt: Some model year 2010 vehicles.
-Saturn Aura: Some model year 2008 and 2009 vehicles.
-Saturn Ion: All model year 2004 to 2007 vehicles.
-Pontiac G6: All model year 2005 vehicles, and some model year 2006, 2008 and 2009 vehicles.
GM said that drivers will know right away it their electric power steering fails, because a chime and dashboard message will appear, according to USA Today.
Vehicles can be steered without power assist, but more muscle will be required to do so, especially when traveling at low speeds.
This increases the chance of a crash, according to GM.
