RECALL:
1988 Prelude Power Steering Supply Hose (Supersedes 88-014, dated APR 20, '88)
PROBLEM
When subjected to prolonged vibration and high underhood temperatures, the power steering supply hose, at the connector clamp seal, could develop a
small fluid leak. If the fluid contacts the hot exhaust manifold cover, it may cause smoke and there is a very remote possibility of fire if the fluid contacts
the exhaust manifold itself.
