1997 Amtran RS recalls, newest first

March 27, 1997NHTSA 97V0480001,473 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Hydraulic power assist › Hose, piping, and connections

Summary: The low pressure power steering return hose can either burst or become disconnected due to increased fluid viscosity in frigid temperatures.
Consequence: If the low pressure return hose bursts or separates, there would be a loss of power assist to the steering and a reduction in power assist to the brakes on vehicles equipped with hydraulic brakes.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the return hoses with a hose that can tolerate higher pressures, use improved clamps and a power steering fluid that is less viscous in frigid temperatures.
