What This Recall Means

Component

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS

What Happened
Your vehicle may have a power steering hose that doesn't meet specifications, which could cause a leak under extreme steering maneuvers.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, you might need to use more effort to steer, and on some models, you could also lose power brake assist. In the worst case, a fire could start in the engine compartment if the fluid sprays onto hot parts.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
The dealership will inspect and replace the power steering hose if necessary, free of charge, starting October 14, 2005.
