Requirements breached
The product poses a risk of injuries because there may be a leak from the internal pipes of the steering gear. In most cases the leak will be gradual and will drain the power steering oil generating noise and a slow decrease in power steering assistance. In the worst cases there could be a complete loss of all power steering fluid, and steering assistance, without any warning to the driver.
