Recall 1984053

The issue

THE SPRING SEAT, WHICH IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE AXLE HOUSING AND THE REAR SUSPENSION SPRING PACK CAN DEFORM, RESULTING IN REDUCED CLAMPING FORCE IN THE SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD CAUSE AXLE MISALIGNMENT, SPRING "U" BOLT LOOSENESS AND HOUSING FAILURE. AXLE DISLOCATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN TIRE TO SPRING INTERFERENCE AND POSSIBLE IMPAIRMENT OF VEHICLE CONTROL, COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

Description (français)

L'assise de ressort, qui se trouve entre le carter de l'essieu et le ressort arrière, peut se déformer et ne plus retenir suffisamment la suspension arrière. Cela peut entraîner une perte d'alignement de l'essieu, le desserrement de l'étrier en "U" des ressorts et la rupture du carter. L'essieu peut se disloquer brusquement, provoquant le heurt du ressort contre la roue et la perte de maîtrise du véhicule.
