The issue
THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE POWER STEERING PUMP RETURN HOSE AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD DUE TO INCORRECT ROUTING. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE OVERHEATING OF THE HOSE, RESULTING IN A FLUID LEAK. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: POWER STEERING PUMP HOSE WILL BE REPLACED IF IT WAS INCORRECTLY ROUTED.
