This can result in a loss of power steering fluid and an eventual loss of power assist to the steering if the leak is undetected. Correction: The power steering system will be reconfigured to eliminate the pressure spikes.
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 101 - Location and Identification of Controls and Displays. Vehicles were built without a dash light dimmer switch. Correction: A dash light dimmer switch will be installed.
