Details
What's wrong: Prolonged high under-hood temperatures may cause the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely causing the hose to crack and leak power steering fluid.
Why it matters: Power steering fluid leaking onto a hot catalytic converter will generate smoke and possibly lead to an under-hood fire.
The fix: Dealers will install a new heat resistant power steering hose free of charge. The recall began on April 28, 2008.
