The issue
LOCATED IN ALBERTA AND SASKATCHEWAN. THE FLEXING OF THE THREE LEAF REAR SUSPENSION SPRINGS COULD CAUSE THE DEFORMATION AND LOOSENING OF THE SPRING-TO-AXLE MOUNTING ATTACHMENTS. THIS CAN ULTIMATELY CAUSE THE FRACTURE OF A SPRING LEAF THROUGH THE CENTRE HOLE SECTION AND MAKE THE REMAINING TWO LEAVES SUSCEPTIBLE TO PROGRESSIVE FRACTURE. IF ALL OF THE THREE LEAVES IN A SPRING PACK WERE TO FRACTURE, THE AFFECTED REAR AXLE COULD SUDDENLY SHIFT POSITION AND RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
Description (français)
La flexion du ressort arrière à trois lames peut provoquer la déformation et le desserrage de la bride de montage sur l'essieu. A la longue, cela peut entraîner la rupture d'une des lames du ressort à la hauteur du trou central et, avec elle, la rupture des autres lames. Si les trois lames d'un même ressort se brisent l'essieu peut perdre brusquement sa position et faire perdre la maîtrise du véhicule.
