## What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.4L non\-turbo engine and an automatic transaxle, routing variation in the high pressure power steering hose could allow contact with the automatic transaxle differential cover, potentially damaging the hose.  Subsequent fluid leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in an under\-hood fire.  Correction:  Dealers will inspect and relocate, or replace as necessary, the power steering hose and confirm torque of the hose fastener at the steering gear end.
