The hazard
On certain vehicles equipped with dual steering, the hydraulic valve which diverts power from one side to the other may malfunction due to contamination caused by pieces of rubber in the system. This can result in loss of power steering assist or the inability to switch the power assist from one side to the other. Correction: Steering control valve and parking brake interlock will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
