Recall 1985079

The issue

SOME OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM - TO - SPINDLE ATTACHMENT BOLTS THAT MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FRACTURE DURING VEHICLE USE. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, THE ADJACENT REAR SPINDLE COULD DISENGAGE FROM THE CONTROL ARM, CREATING A POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND POSSIBLE CRASH.

Description (français)

Sur certains de ces véhicules, le boulon qui attache le bras de suspension arrière à la fussée peut se briser pendant l''utilisation du véhicule. Dans un tel cas, la fusée se détache du bras de suspension, ce qui peut entraîner une perte de maîtrise du véhicule. Un accident est alors possible.
