Recall 2016182

The issue

Certain vehicles may have been built with an improperly welded rear suspension toe link. If the improperly welded toe link were to fracture while the vehicle is in motion, it could result in rear suspension noise, difficulty steering and/or a loss of steering control, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear toe links.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules pourraient avoir été construits avec un bras de pincement de suspension arrière mal soudé. Si le bras de pincement mal soudé se brise pendant que le véhicule est en mouvement, la suspension arrière pourrait produire un bruit, le volant pourrait être difficile à tourner et/ou le conducteur pourrait perdre le contrôle de la direction, ce qui augmenterait les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les bras de pincement arrière.
