What can happen

Safety consequence

WITHIN THE STEERING SYSTEM, HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURES MAY CAUSE EVENTUAL DETERIORATION OF THE HOSE WHICH RETURNS POWER STEERING FLUID TO THE PUMP. THE HOSE MAY RUPTURE AND POWER STEERING ASSIST WILL BE LOST.

What fixes it

Official remedy

DEALER WILL REPLACE THE POWER STEERING HOSE AND INSTALL A HEAT SHIELD BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND HOSE AT NO CHARGE.
