Default Power Steering Hose
Well I got my recall letter last week (2nd owner) and apparently my hose decided to start leaking around the same time. The PS pump started to whine this morning on my way to work like a banshee, the reservoir was completely empty. Guess it's time to use that recall letter, it was just on time!

Can a fire really start from this? I got my recall letter recently and have been putting it off.

Yes. The fluid will spray on hot engine components.

My 1997 Taurus caught on fire when the power steering hose failed.

I'm taking mine in this week. Hopefully it won't burst into flames before I can get it in.
