1 Power Steering Fluid problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2009

Truck with a full-size camper was parked for less than 5 min. Before it blew up and burned up. North american technical & forensic serivces examined the truck and determined that the cause was a powersteering fluid leak in the left front engine compartment at the powersteering fluid line or line connections. After the fire, I contacted gm regarding the incident and asked if they had any record of this type of fire and they said no. However, in checking the recalls, there was a recall for powersteering leakage. Gm then filed bankruptcy.
