Recall 2003167

The issue

On certain vehicles, the left front transverse link components were produced with poor electro-deposition coating 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 transverse link. If such a breakage occurs while the vehicle is being operated, control of the vehicle could be affected. Correction: Dealer will rust-proof the left side transverse link with anti-rust wax.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, la qualité de l'électrodéposition du revêtement des éléments du bras transversal avant gauche laisse à désirer, ce qui, après une exposition de plusieurs années au sel routier corrosif, peut faire en sorte que certains de ces éléments se corrodent de part en part et que le bras transversal se brise. Si le bras venait à briser pendant que le véhicule est en marche, cela pourrait nuire à la conduite du véhicule. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront appliquer un traitement de cire antirouille au bras transversal du côté gauche.
