Recall 2014253

The issue

On certain vehicles, an improper weld on the rear shock absorbers may lead to separation of the shock absorber tube from the shock absorber clevis bracket. If such a separation was to occur, a sudden change of vehicle handling behaviour would result that may startle drivers, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace both rear shock absorbers.

Le cas échéant, un changement soudain de la tenue de route du véhicule pourrait se produire et surprendre le conducteur, ce qui pourrait augmenter le risque d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les deux amortisseurs arrière.
