Concern

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been established thatthe high pressure connection to the power assisted steering pump could detach. Should this incur loss of steering assistance would ensue. Additionally hydraulic fluid could leak onto the exhaust with the attendant risk of fire.

To prevent such an occurrence recalled vehicles will have the subject power assisted steering pipe fitted with a retaining collar.
