SUMMARY:

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.

CONSEQUENCE:

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

REMEDY:

Dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the power steering line free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification
