Recall 1997094

The issue

THE REAR CRADLE BOLTS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY PULL THROUGH THE RETAINERS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE RETAINER. IF BOTH BOLTS PULL THROUGH, THE REAR CRADLE WOULD NO LONGER BE SUPPORTED AT THESE MOUNTING LOCATIONS AND THE STEERING SHAFT MAY SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD RESULT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REAR CRADLE BOLTS AND RETAINERS.

Description (français)

Les boulons du berceau arrière de ces véhicules peuvent sortir des dispositifs de retenue si ces derniers sont rouillés. Si les deux boulons venaient à s’arracher, le berceau arrière ne serait plus supporté à ces points de montage et l’arbre de direction pourrait alors se détacher du mécanisme de direction. Si cela se produisait alors que le véhicule est en mouvement, le conducteur pourrait subitement perdre la maîtrise du véhicule et avoir un accident.Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les boulons et les dispositifs de retenue du berceau arrière.
