Blue LS XR5 Turbo

Hi Everyone,
Just a heads up to anyone else with a LS XR5 - had mine back to the dealer today as the power steering failed over the weekend (dumped the fluid into my driveway twice). Not a pleasant experience in the middle of a corner! Spoke to the service manager this afternoon and after he said it should've been picked up when it was serviced (to which I replied they were the last to have it when the oil pump was replaced) he mentioned that it might be affected by the recall. Apparently it's very recent (nothing on the ford website as yet). One of the hose clips is faulty, which means it comes loose and you lose all the fluid. Might want to give your respective dealers a call and get it checked out. I'll be asking why the recall hasn't officially been released and getting more details when I pick the car up tomorrow. Will post if I get anything important. Still love my XR5 despite the fact that this is the 2nd time it's been towed in (2 months ago the oil pump blew up and it was in the workshop for almost 2 weeks). Cheers, Kez
