What is the danger

The connection of the power supply to the electrical power steering may have been contaminated by heat-activated adhesive. Ageing of this adhesive could lead to a loss of clamping force and thus to a loose connection that may lead to interruption of the power supply. As a result, the electrical power steering could fail spontaneously, even while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of an accident.
