Summary:
The last time I had the car serviced the representative at the dealership said that there were issues with the power steering reservoir. He said that they had apparently made it of the wrong plastic and when it heats it expands and will leak fluid, possibly failing. I don't know what the result would be with the steering if this happened. He said that the item would be the owner’s responsibility to replace and they were not recalling or replacing them.
