Summary

Consequence

Electrical arcing in the presence of leaking power steering fluid can increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will reroute the power steering hose to provide proper clearance, free of charge. The recall began on December 27, 2016. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 . DTNA's number for this recall is FL-727.
