Details
What's wrong: Power steering hoses may leak fluid that can spread to the exhaust manifold.
Why it matters: Under certain conditions, the manifold may become hotenough to ignite the power steering fluid and result in an engine compartmentfire.
The fix: Install new heat resistant power steering hoses. Also, install new fan coupling to increase air flow volume through engine compartment and replace any other damaged components.
