Power steering fault with a Meriva

I have recently bought a Vauxhall Meriva second hand. So far the car is good.

Yesterday I had an EPS fault show on my dash and the steering wheel become stiff. It was difficult to move the steering wheel.

I managed to drive the car and parked in my office. Then I restarted it again - the fault was clear and the steering become normal. This happened twice.

Should I contact local dealer for this issue? Will they fix this problem free?

Vauxhall now seems to be fixing these FoC, so pay a visit to a Vauxhall dealer.
