Details

Certain vehicles may have been built with a power steering hose that is not to specification.

Under extreme steering manoeuvres, such as turning the steering wheel fully to the left or right while braking, the hose may fracture and leak fluid.

If this were to occur, power steering assist would be lost and increased steering effort would be required.

On vehicles equipped with hydro-boost power brakes, it could also result in loss of power brake assist and increase braking effort would be required.

If power steering fluid were to spray onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur.

Correction: Dealers will inspect the power steering hose(s) for two suspect date codes and replace them if required.
