On certain vehicles, the hose clamp used to secure the power steering fluid cooling hose to the power steering cooler may not provide sufficient clamping force for this connection. The loss of power steering fluid may result in diminished power steering over time and may ultimately damage the power steering pump. Correction: Dealer will replace the power steering cooler hose and clamp.
