Narrative:
Shortly after take-off the captain informed the flight attendants that there was a problem with the aircraft and we would be in need of emergency vehicles once we landed. It would be best if we wait until we get closer to landing before we informed passengers. We (flight attendants) continued with our service as usual until the captain informed the passengers approximately 20 minutes before landing that we would be in need of the emergency equipment but they were just for precaution and he did not feel we would actually need them - to keep every one calm. We landed and stopped on the runway; taxied to the gate and everyone was happy. The captain informed the flight attendants that there was an indicator light that came on during takeoff and we probably would not have steering when we landed.
