BMW 7 Series: Possible Fluid Leak From Power Steering
- Recalling firm
- BMW
- Product
- Vehicles: BMW 7 SERIES. Units affected: 1,627
- Reason
- The threaded unions on the pressure lines for the power steering gear may not have been sufficiently tightened and could leak oil. Leaking oil could cause the power steering system to fail and in extreme cases escaping oil could ignite on hot engine components. Remedy: Check union bolts for signs of leakage. If leaks are found at either of the unions the steering gear will be replaced. If no leaks are found the union bolts will be checked for correct torque.
