Recall 2012178

The issue

On certain vehicles, the steering gear was manufactured incorrectly and, as a result, a steering fluid leak could develop. Loss of power steering fluid could cause a loss of steering power assist, which may result in a crash. Also, power steering fluid leakage may contact a hot engine or exhaust component, which could cause a fire. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering gear assembly.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, la crémaillère a été mal construite et il pourrait donc y avoir une fuite de liquide de servodirection. Une fuite du liquide de servodirection pourrait causer une perte de l'assistance de la direction et causer un accident. De plus, le liquide de servodirection pourrait entrer en contact avec le moteur chaud ou un des éléments de l'échappement et causer un feu. Ces problèmes pourrait causer des dommages aux biens matériels ou des blessures corporelles. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent inspecter et, au besoin, remplacer la crémaillère.
