Yes, some Wagon R owners in Pakistan report EPS system failures, often due to:

Battery and voltage issues: The EPS is electrically powered and depends on stable voltage. Low battery o r fluctuating voltage common in older vehicles o r in areas with poor road conditions can affect performance.

EPS motor overheating: In hot weather o r during long drives, the EPS motor may overheat, temporarily losing power assist.

Faulty sensors: The steering angle sensor o r torque sensor can fail o r give incorrect readings, causing the EPS light to come on and the steering to become stiff.

Wiring damage: Bad roads, water ingress, o r rodents can damage EPS wiring, especially in urban areas with poor road conditions.

Solution:

Check and maintain battery health and charging system.

Have the EPS motor and control unit scanned with a diagnostic tool.

Repair o r replace damaged wiring o r sensors.
