2000 Chevrolet Express & 2000 GMC Savana recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vans equipped with a brake warning indicator. Some of these vehicles have a power steering cooler hose that CAN separate from the power brake booster fluid flow switch assembly.
💥 The risk
If this occurs, power steering fluid could flow onto hot engine parts and an engine compartment fire could occur.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect for three screw clamps to the power steering hose joints. If the clamps are not the screw type, dealers will replace the clamps.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
