On certain vehicles, the filter gasket for the power steering hydraulic fluid may blow out due to pressure spikes in the system. This can result in a loss of power steering fluid and an eventual loss of power assist to the steering if the leak is undetected. Correction: The power steering system will be reconfigured to eliminate the pressure spikes.
