Defect Summary | The low pressure power steering return hose can either burst or become disconnected due to increased fluid viscosity in frigid temperatures. | |||||||||||||||
Consequence Summary | If the low pressure return hose bursts or separates, there would be a loss of power assist to the steering and a reduction in power assist to the brakes on vehicles equipped with hydraulic brakes. | |||||||||||||||
Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace the return hoses with a hose that can tolerate higher pressures, use improved clamps and a power steering fluid that is less viscous in frigid temperatures. | |||||||||||||||
