NHTSA recall 03V218000
Steering · Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles may have a loose fitting in the pressure line of the power steering assembly.
Why it matters: If the fitting is loose, the hydraulic fluid could leak out, which could lead to loss of power steering assist and, for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, loss of clutch assistance. If the leaking fluid comes into contact with hot exhaust components, it could ignite.
The fix: Dealers will tighten the fitting to specifications. Owner notification began on December 1, 2003. Owners should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
