Steering

Recall date August 5, 2011
Models affected

Units affected 1,370
Details

On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.6L engine, the high pressure (upper) power steering hose may have been misrouted and could contact the catalytic converter.

With the engine ON, heat from the catalictic converter may melt the power steering hose.

If this occurs, power steering fluid could flow onto the catalytic converter, which could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will ensure that the upper power steering hose is routed correctly.

If it is not, the upper power steering hose will be replaced.

Dealers will also install a protective sleeve around both power steering hoses, on all vehicles (regardless of routing), to prevent abrasion of the power steering hoses.
