Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles,the power assisted steering high pressure flexible hose may contact the left hand exhaust manifold. It is possible that the hose may scorch through resulting in a progressive loss of hydraulic fluid and power assistance.

Why it matters: This could increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will reposition the hose and replace the hose if necessary. Owner notification is expected to begin during April 2003.
