Steering: hydraulic power assist, hose, piping, and connections

NHTSA campaign 00V085000 · reported March 16, 2000 · GENERAL MOTORS CORP. · 10,468 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Vehicle description: passenger vans equipped with a brake warning indicator. Some of these vehicles have a power steering cooler hose that can separate from the power brake booster fluid flow switch assembly.
The risk
If this occurs, power steering fluid could flow onto hot engine parts and an engine compartment fire could occur.
The fix
Dealers will inspect for three screw clamps to the power steering hose joints. If the clamps are not the screw type, dealers will replace the clamps.
