Details
What's wrong: It is possible for the coating to separate from the inside face of the steering damper housing. If this happened, the coating could partially clog the oil bores within the damper.
Why it matters: If this occurred, the steering damper could become stiff increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the steering damper free of charge. The recall began during September 2008.
