The issue
On certain vehicles, the rear suspension springs may fracture through the center bolt hole after vehicle assembly. If undetected, the rear end of the spring may separate from the vehicle causing a hazardous road debris situation. Correction: Inspect for cracked springs and replace if cracked.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les ressorts de suspension arrière peuvent se fracturer au niveau du trou de l’étoqiau après le montage. Si le problème n’est pas découvert, la partie arrière du ressort peut se détacher du véhicule et tomber sur la chaussée où elle risque de représenter un danger pour les usagers de la route. Correction : On devrait vérifier si les ressorts ne sont pas fissurés et les remplacer le cas échéant.
