NHTSA defect investigations
Federal safety investigators have looked into a possible defect involving the 2014 Chevrolet Caprice:
Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited.
What 2014 Chevrolet Caprice owners say
Steering
We currently have three 2014 Caprice ppv vehicles that have power steering issues. Our police officers have reported that the power steering intermittently stops working before completely failing. Three of the four Caprice vehicles have the same problem within two weeks and mileage between 47K-52K.
This vehicle is one of seven in a fleet for the lagrange illinois police department. The vehicles were recently purchased new on February 28, 2014 and were shipped from australia. Over the last couple months, the majority of our fleet (5 of 7) have all had power steering failures while the vehicle has been on and in motion. One of the vehicles has had two such failures. As we are a police department, there is a great concern that the power steering will fail while we are in pursuit of an offender, causing a major crash involving injuries/death to others or our officers. Note: this vehicle's power steering failed on two occasions: June 24, 2014 and again after being repaired on November 4, 2014.
