Recall Alert: 2010 Cadillac SRX

General Motors is recalling 3,459 2010 Cadillac SRX crossovers because the power-steering pressure line may have been damaged during manufacture, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

If the line is damaged, power-steering fluid could leak. If enough fluid leaks, the driver will hear noise from the power-steering pump, and steering the vehicle will require more effort. If the fluid sprays onto a hot engine, it could cause an engine compartment fire, according to NHTSA.

No crashes or injuries have been reported because of a leak, and the issue is believed to exist in only two or three of the recalled vehicles, GM says. The vehicles being recalled were built between Dec. 4 and Dec. 23, 2009; you can check your car’s manufacture date on the sticker inside the driver-side doorjamb.

Dealers will inspect the power-steering pressure line and replace it if necessary at no charge. Owners will be notified by mail and can call Cadillac at 866-982-2339 or NHTSA’s hot line at 888-327-4236.
