SUBJECT:

REPLACEMENT OF CLAMP FOR LOWER POWER STEERING HOSE
This Recall Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on the affected vehicles (see VIN range below) the lower power steering
hose clamp (arrow, Figure 1), located on the lower power steering hose (Figure 1) at the lower left hand corner of the radiator, must be replaced. The
hose clamp may not provide sufficient clamping force for this connection and may allow the hose to disconnect from the cooler resulting in a loss of
power steering fluid.
