## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the low\-pressure power steering return line connection may not have been fully seated at the steering gear during vehicle assembly.  If the return line is not fully seated, a power steering fluid leak may occur.  A power steering fluid leak may create the potential for power steering fluid to come in contact with the exhaust system, which could result in smoke or fire.  Correction:  Dealer will inspect the power steering return line connection.
