Recall 2014117

The issue

On certain vehicles registered and operated in areas where road salt is used on the roadways during winter months for extended time periods (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland-Labrador), the forward attachment point for the lower control arm may separate from the vehicle's subframe. This could affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a newly designed reinforcement cross-brace.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules immatriculés et utilisés dans des régions où du calcium est épandu sur les routes pendant l'hiver pendant de longues périodes de temps (Ontario, Québec, Nouveau­Brunswick, Nouvelle­Écosse, Île­du­Prince­Édouard et Terre­Neuve & Labrador), le point de fixation avant du bras oscillant transversal inférieur pourrait se détacher du sous­châssis du véhicule. Cela pourrait avoir une incidence sur le comportement routier du véhicule et augmenter les risques d'accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un nouveau modèle de renfort transversal.
