Summary

The involved vehicles may have been assembled with the power steering hose incorrectly routed. The power steering hose may then contact the exhaust manifold, resulting in deterioration and eventual failure of the hose and leakage of power steering fluid onto the exhaust manifold.

Actions

The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the hoses and inlet pipe and add a clip at no charge to owner.
