The issue
On certain vehicles, the rear suspension is regularly subjected to extreme articulation, resulting in flexing of the joint. Failure of the lower sway arm attaching bolts could result with possible loss of vehicle control. Correction: Dealers will replace the lower sway arm brackets.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, la suspension arrière adopte régulièrement des angles d'articulation extrêmes, ce qui soumet le joint à des contraintes en flexion. Il se peut que le conducteur perde la maîtrise du véhicule si les boulons de fixation d'une barre stabilisatrice inférieure se brisent. Correction : Les supports des barres stabilisatrices inférieures devront être remplacés.
