What Happened
The power steering hose in your vehicle is like a flexible tube that helps you turn the wheel. In certain models, it may rub against a metal cover near the transmission, causing damage.
Risk if Unfixed
If the hose gets damaged and leaks power steering fluid, and there's an ignition source nearby, it could catch fire, causing a serious underhood blaze.
Free Fix
Your authorized dealer will inspect the power steering hose and move or replace it if it's damaged. They'll also double-check the connection to the steering gear to make sure it's secure – all at no cost to you.
