⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of fire because the power steering high pressure pipe may become detached from the power steering pump. A detached pipe can result in loss of power steering assistance and cause the power steering fluid to leak into the engine compartment, with the risk of the fluid contacting the exhaust manifold and catching fire.
