The issue
On certain vehicles, the rear suspension crossmember may be missing spot welds. This may result in structural cracks in the body, and reduced crash protection in the event of a rear impact. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and vehicles with missing spot welds will have structural rivets installed in place of the welds.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, il se peut que certains points de soudure aient été omis sur la traverse de la suspension arrière. Si c’est le cas, des fissures structurales peuvent se former dans la carrosserie, ce qui risque de diminuer la protection contre les collisions arrière. Correction : Les véhicules devront être inspectés et on devra poser des rivets de structure sur les véhicules qui n’ont pas les points de soudure prescrits.
