What NHTSA recorded

The power steering assist cylinder mounting bracket bolts may loosen due to paint on the bolt threads and the mounting bracket mating surface. Consequence of defect: this may result in looseness and erratic steering during full turns. With continued operation power cylinder could detach from the frame rail resulting in restricted steering, severing of front brake hose and loss of front axle braking. With either condition, a vehicle crash could result.

Remedy

Remove paint from mating surfaces of bracket and frame rail; replace power steering assist cylinder mounting bolts.
