Recall 2000034

The issue

On certain pickup trucks, the welds at the right side lower control arm (LCA) bracket-to-axle-tube attachment may have inadequate fatigue life due to poor weld quality. Inadequate fatigue life may lead to separation of the LCA bracket from the axle tube. If the bracket separates, the vehicle may experience reduced directional stability, braking degradation and/or vehicle pull under braking. Correction: Front axle will be replaced with a properly welded front axle.

Description (français)

Sur certaines camionettes, il se peut que les soudures qui retiennent le support du bras oscillant transversal inférieur au tube d’essieu n’aient pas la qualité requise ni la résistance à la fatigue prévue et qu’en conséquence le support du bras oscillant se détache du tube d’essieu. Si cela se produit, il se peut que la stabilité en direction du véhicule soit compromise, que le freinage se dégrade ou que le véhicule se déporte lors du freinage. Correction : On devra monter sur ces véhicules un essieu avant adéquatement soudé.
