Details

What's wrong: On certain vehicles equipped with a v8 engine,the power steering hose connectors may have been inadequately crimped which could result in a fluid leak.

Why it matters: If this were to occur, power steering assist may be lost and increased steering effort would be required at low speeds. Also, if the power steering fluid were to contact hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur.

The fix: Dealers will replace the power steering gear inlet hose. The recall began on March 29, 2006.
