2009 Pontiac G6 Electronic stability control Problems

“Dear NHTSA; I own a 2009 Pontiac G6 that within the last week incurred a power steering failure. Recall research shows that on march 2014 the NHTSA required GM to issue a recall for this exact problem, however, it only covered the G6 models up to the year 2009, which my car was not included.
