The issue
On certain vehicles, the rear engine cradle bolts may pull through due to corrosion of the retainers. If this should occur, the cradle would no longer be supported at these mounting locations and the steering shaft may separate from the steering gear. This could result in loss of steering control. Correction: Rear cradle bolts and retainers will be replaced.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les boulons arrière du berceau du moteur peuvent traverser des plaques de retenue corrodées. Si cela se produit, le berceau n'est plus supporté à ces endroits et l'arbre de direction peut se détacher de son engrenage, ce qui risque d'entraîner une perte de contrôle de la direction. Correction: Les boulons et plaques de retenue arrière du berceau du moteur devront être remplacés.
