What is wrong
On certain vehicles equipped with a v8 engine,the power steering hose connectors may have been inadequately crimped which could result in a fluid leak.
The risk
If this were to occur, power steering assist may be lost and increased steering effort would be required at low speeds. Also, if the power steering fluid were to contact hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur.
The fix
Dealers will replace the power steering gear inlet hose. The recall began on march 29, 2006. Owners may contact buick at 1-[removed] or cadillac at 1-[removed].
