The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with Ridewell independent front suspension systems, critical welds on the suspension cradle could crack, allowing the steering bell crank to separate from the cradle, resulting in a loss of steering. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Reinforcing brackets will be installed.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules à suspension avant indépendante Ridewell, des soudures essentielles sur le berceau de suspension pourraient se fissurer, ce qui permettrait à la manivelle de la courroie du système de direction de se détacher du berceau, ce qui résulterait en une perte de la direction. Cela pourrait augmenter les risques d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Des supports de renfort devront être posés.
