Which statement is true regarding the maintenance of electric power steering systems?

Electric power steering systems are designed to be more efficient and require less maintenance compared to traditional hydraulic systems. One of the key advantages of electric power steering is that it eliminates the need for the fluid that hydraulic systems use; therefore, there is no fluid to leak or to be topped off regularly, which typically simplifies maintenance.

Because they do not contain hydraulic fluid, electric power steering systems avoid common issues associated with hydraulic systems, such as fluid degradation or contamination, which often necessitate regular servicing and monitoring. This inherent simplicity contributes to the perception that electric power steering does not require regular servicing.

While other statements in the question offer insights into the characteristics of electric and hydraulic systems, they do not hold true when considering the reduced maintenance needs of electric power steering.
