What NHTSA recorded

There may not be enough clearance between the power steering pump return hose and the engine exhaust manifold. Consequence of defect: hose could overheat, resulting in a hole and fluid leak, and a possible engine compartment fire without prior warning.

Remedy

Replace and correctly route hose, as necessary.
