Product Details

Cardone Power Steering Reservoir 3R-312 is designed for vehicles that use a remote-mounted reservoir in the power steering system. A clogged or cracked reservoir can be mistaken for a pump problem, especially when noise, foaming fluid, or pressure loss appears in the system. This replacement reservoir helps restore proper fluid storage and flow on 2006-2011 Hyundai Accent, 2006-2011 Kia Rio, 2006-2011 Kia Rio5, and 2006-2011 Dodge Attitude models. This part cross-references Hyundai/Kia OE number 571501G000 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Power steering fluid leaks from a cracked reservoir body
• Foaming fluid caused by trapped air or poor reservoir condition
• Noise that is traced to restricted fluid supply rather than the pump
• Heat-related plastic deterioration in the engine bay
• Contamination from a worn or clogged remote reservoir

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the reservoir location before replacement, as remote reservoirs may be mounted on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump. Check the return and outlet hoses for cracks, debris, or internal breakdown, and bleed air from the system after service to prevent cavitation and noise. For 2006-2011 Hyundai Accent and related Kia Rio, Rio5, and Dodge Attitude applications, verify hose condition and fluid color during diagnosis.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 3R-312 reservoir is 100% tested to confirm proper fit and function. It is manufactured from OE-grade material and follows OE design requirements for a direct replacement on select Hyundai, Kia, and Dodge vehicles.
