STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
The sudden loss of power steering assist and hydraulic steering fluid leaking onto the roadway may increase the risk of a crash.

Two 2015 FREIGHTLINER SPRINTER 2500s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it.
