The issue
Certain vehicles were equipped with an improper power steering high pressure hose between the power steering pump and the steering gear. The hose installed was rated to have a working pressure of 500 PSI instead of the specified 2000 PSI. The hose could develop a leak or burst while in service. If this were to happen, the power assist feature of the steering system would be lost but the actual steering control would still be maintained. Correction: The power steering high pressure hose will be replaced with the proper one.
Description (français)
Certains véhicules ont été construits avec le mauvais tuyau flexible à haute pression pour la servodirection. Ce tuyau relie la pompe de servodirection au boîtier de direction. Un tuyau dont la pression nominale est de 2000 livres aurait dû être installé au lieu d'un tuyau de 500 livres. Comme sa pression nominale est inférieure à celle du circuit, il risque de couler ou d'éclater alors que le véhicule est en marche. Ceci pourrait causer une panne de la direction assistée sans toutefois causer une perte de contrôle de la direction. Correction : Le tuyau haute pression de la servodirection devra être remplacé.
