The problem: Vehicle description: motorhome chassis equipped with a side mount radiator and hydraulic system. The filter gasket for the power steering hydraulic fluid can blow out due to pressure spikes in the system.

The fix: Dealers will reconfigure the power steering hydraulic system to eliminate the pressure spikes.
