1 Power Steering Fluid problem

Failure Date: 01/13/2014

During my 1500 mile recommended oil change service, the Ford dealer service technician found a leak of hydraulic fluid that turned out to be coming from the power steering / power braking hydro boost unit. He determined that the leak was caused by a factory over-tightening of a bolt on the unit that stripped the thread and caused the leak. The booster and associated hoses or lines needed to be replaced. I was told that driving the vehicle without the repair would have been very dangerous and could have caused a total failure of the brakes.
