The issue

NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRGLIDE 200 REAR SUSPENSION. DUE TO THE MATERIALS USED IN THE SWAY BAR ARMS AND THE STUDS AS WELL AS THE STUD PLATING, A COMBINATION OF STRESS CORROSION CRACKING AND BENDING FATIGUE CAN OCCUR WHICH COULD CAUSE THE STUD TO FAIL PREMATURELY. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: SWAY BAR ARM ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE OF A DIFFERENT MATERIAL. THE NEW STUDS WILL HAVE DIFFERENT THREADS AND A DIFFERENT FINISH.

Description (français)

Nota : Vise les véhicules munis de la suspension pneumatique arrière Airglide 200.En raison d’une combinaison de facteurs (matériaux utilisés dans la construction des barres antiroulis et des goujons, procédé de métallisation des goujons, fissuration par corrosion sous contrainte et fatigue en pliage), il se peut que les goujons des barres antiroulis fassent défaut prématurément. Si les goujons venaient à briser, le conducteur pourrait subitement perdre la maîtrise de son véhicule et avoir un accident.Correction : Les barres antiroulis devront être remplacées et les nouvelles barres devront être d’un matériau différent. Les nouveaux goujons devront être filetés et métallisés différemment.
