Defect SummaryThe low pressure power steering return hose can either burst or become disconnected due to increased fluid viscosity in frigid temperatures.
Consequence SummaryIf 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 SummaryDealers 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.
