Hope this info helps but as you say i think we will see more of this over here before the end of the summer i had done just under 5000 miles and there were no warning lights or messages before hand just a message after saying power assist failed service required, the RAC guy put his box on and it was unable to communicate with the kuga power steering but could talk to all other ECU'which pointed to a full failure of the power assist unit.
