2010 Cadillac SRX recall: steering

āš ļø What's wrong

General motors is recalling certain model year 2010 cadillac SRX vehicles equipped with 2.8L gas engines (lau) or 3.0L gas engines (LF1). Some of these vehicles have a condition in which processing of the crimp during manufacture of the power steering pressure line may have damaged the line. If the line was damaged, a power steering fluid leak may develop. If there is a sufficient amount of fluid loss, the driver will hear noise from the power steering pump and increased effort may be required for steering.

šŸ’„ The risk

If power steering fluid sprays onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur.

šŸ”§ The fix

Dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the power steering line free of charge. The safety recall began on november 12, 2010. Owners may contact cadillac at 1-866-982-2339.

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.)
