The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, the power assist delivered by the steering rack May not be fully available while making extreme left hand turns for a prolonged period of time. An internal o-ring of the steering rack can become dislodged or dislocated causing a loss of power assist to the driver.
The risk
Such circumstances could lead to a reduction in vehicle control, which could result in a crash.
