## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, high under\-hood temperatures can cause the high\-pressure power steering hose to deteriorate and crack, which could result in a fluid leak.  Loss of power steering fluid could cause a loss of steering power assist, which may result in a crash.  Also, power steering fluid leakage may contact a hot engine or exhaust component, which could cause a fire.  These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the high\-pressure power steering hose with a revised version.
