The issue
On certain vehicles, the bolts which attach the passenger cab and the heater core support to the frame may not have been properly hardened. Soft fasteners in the core support and cab hold down area of the vehicle may compromise its crash worthiness. Correction: Core support and cab to frame attaching bolts will be replaced with properly hardened bolts.
