Affected vehicles: 2006 Buick Rainier; 2006 Cadillac Escalade; 2005 Chevrolet Corvette and Silverado; 2006 Chevrolet Corvette, Express, Silverado, Tahoe, Trailblazer and Trailblazer EXT; 2005 GMC Sierra; 2006 GMC Envoy, Envoy XL, Savana, Sierra and Yukon ; and 2006 Hummer H2

Situation: Certain affected vehicles may have been built with a power steering hose that is not to specification. Under extreme maneuvers, such as turning the steering wheel fully to the left or right while braking, the hose may fracture and leak fluid. If this were to occur, power steering assist would be lost and increased steering effort would be required. On vehicles equipped with hyrdro-boost power brakes, it could also result in loss of power brake assist and increased braking effort would be required. If the power steering fluid spray were to spray onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur.
