Recall 2003117

The issue

On certain vehicles operated in the "salt-belt" provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador. The rear suspension subframe components were produced with poor paint quality which, after continued exposure to corrosive road salts for a period of several years, may result in rust-out of the component and possible breakage of the subframe. Correction: Dealer will clean and rust-proof with anti-rust oil and anti-rust wax.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules exploités dans les provinces qui utilisent du sel routier, nommément le Manitoba, l'Ontario, le Québec, le Nouveau-Brunswick, la Nouvelle-Écosse, l'île-du-Prince-Édouard et Terre-Neuve et Labrador, les composants du cadre auxiliaire de la suspension arrière n'ont pas été recouverts d'une peinture de bonne qualité, ce qui peut, après plusieurs années d'exposition à l'action corrosive des sels routiers, faire rouiller certaines pièces de la suspension et briser le cadre auxiliaire. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront nettoyer les composants visés et y appliquer de l'huile et de la cire anti-rouille.
