What is wrong
Certain passenger vehicles may have a loose fitting in the pressure line of the power steering assembly.
The risk
If the fitting is loose, the hydraulic fluid could leak out, which could lead to loss of power steering assist and, for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, loss of clutch assistance. If the leaking fluid comes into contact with hot exhaust components, it could ignite.
The fix
Dealers will tighten the fitting to specifications. Owner notification began on december 1, 2003. Owners should contact porsche at 1-[removed].
