MFR'S REPORT DATE: September 29, 2010

SUMMARY:
General Motors is recalling certain model year 2010 Cadillac srx vehicles equipped with 2.8L gas engines (LAU) or 3.0L gas engines (LF1). Some of
these vehicles have a condition in which processing of the crimp during manufacture of the power steering pressure line may have damaged the line. If
the line was damaged, a power steering fluid leak may develop. If there is a sufficient amount of fluid loss, the driver will hear noise from the power
steering pump and increased effort may be required for steering.
CONSEQUENCE:
If power steering fluid sprays onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur.
REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the power steering line free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification
schedule. Owners may contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339.
NOTES:
Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or
