Cadillac recall: Steering
What is wrong
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.
What could happen
If power steering fluid sprays onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur.
