What Happened
The power steering system in your vehicle uses a hose to send power steering fluid to the steering gear. In some 2010-2011 models, this hose can crack and separate at one end.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, power steering fluid could leak onto the hot engine components, causing a fire that could spread quickly.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the power steering hoses and replace them if necessary – at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as possible to prevent any potential issues.
