Recall 1998210

The issue

On certain vehicles, corrosion from winter road salt may cause pits to form on the lower coil of the front springs. These pits may allow cracks to develop, which can result in the breakage of the lower spring coil. If the front coil spring breaks, it may become displaced from its seated position and cause damage to a tire which in turn could result in loss of vehicle control. Correction: A spring guide will be installed which will prevent a broken coil from contacting and damaging a tire.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le sel de voirie peut causer des piqûres de corrosion sur le boudin inférieur des ressorts avant. Ces piqûres peuvent entraîner l’amorce de fissures qui peuvent se traduire par le bris du boudin inférieur. Si un ressort avant se brise, il peut sortir de son siège et endommager le pneu, ce qui peut alors causer une perte de maîtrise du véhicule. Correction : Un guide devra être installé sur les ressorts pour empêcher qu’un boudin brisé ne vienne contacter et endommager un pneu.
