Recall 1998004

The issue

THE DIFFERENTIAL CROSS-MEMBER REINFORCEMENT IS INADEQUATE AND COULD CRACK UNDER CERTAIN ROUGH APPLICATIONS. A FAILED CROSS-MEMBER WOULD RELEASE THE TRANSVERSE ATTACHMENT OF THE DRIVE AXLE AND ALLOW IT TO MOVE RIGHT AND LEFT FOR APPROXIMATELY 3/4 INCH. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT STEERING CONTROL. CORRECTION: TWO ADDITIONAL REINFORCEMENTS WILL BE INSTALLED TO SOLIDIFY THE ASSEMBLY.

Description (français)

Le renfort de la traverse du différentiel est inadéquat et peut se fissurer lors de certaines manoeuvres brutales. Si la traverse se brise, il se peut alors que la fixation transversale se détache de l’essieu moteur et permette à ce dernier de se déplacer latéralement d’environ 3/4 po, ce qui pourrait avoir des conséquences néfastes sur la conduite du véhicule.Correction : Deux renforts additionnels devront être installés pour solidifier l’ensemble.
