Recall 2014420

The issue

On certain vehicles, the leaf springs in the rear suspension could fracture due to stress and corrosion. If this were to occur, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components, including the fuel tank. If the broken leaf were to contact the fuel tank repeatedly, it could puncture the fuel tank. This could result in a fuel leak which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear leaf spring assemblies with improved ones.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les ressorts à lames de la suspension arrière pourraient se briser en raison des contraintes et de la corrosion. Si cela se produisait, le ressort à lames brisé pourrait bouger et toucher aux pièces environnantes, y compris au réservoir à carburant. Si le ressort à lames brisé touchait au réservoir à carburant à plusieurs reprises, il pourrait le percer. Cela pourrait causer une fuite de carburant qui, en présence d'une source d'inflammation, pourrait déclencher un feu pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les ressorts à lames arrière par des ressorts à lames améliorés.
