## What is wrong

ON CERTAIN COUPE AND SEDAN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE POSITIONING OF THE POWER STEERING DELIVERY HOSE CAN ALLOW IT TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH PART OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD.


## What can happen

THIS COULD ALLOW THE DELIVERY HOSE TO LEAK POWER STEERING FLUID ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE POSITION OF THE POWER STEERING DELIVERY HOSE AND INSTALL A POSITIONING CLAMP.  IF THE HOSE IS DAMAGED AND/OR CANNOT BE MOVED INTO THE PROPERLY ALIGNED POSITION, THE HOSE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 20, 2002.   OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MASERATI AT 1\-877.696.2737.


## Notes

CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1\-888\-DASH\-2\-DOT \(1\-888\-327\-4236\).
