Issue: On certain vehicles, a defect in the steering gear assembly could cause it to leak power steering fluid. If this happens, there could be a loss of power steering assist.

Label

2015-10-07 · campaign 2015-454

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. Certain compliance labels were misprinted and omitted the French translation of the word ‘RIMS’ (JANTES). As such, these labels do not meet the requirements of CMVSS 110, specifically TSD 110 S4.3.3. The numerical designation of the rim size is correctly printed and it is only the French translation of the word "RIMS" that has been omitted. Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy this technical non-compliance condition. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance conditions are deemed to be non-safety related.
