Recall 2016346

The issue

On certain vehicles, the rear crossmember assist arm bracket may not have been properly welded during the manufacturing process. This could cause the welds to break and affect the rear suspension alignment, which would result in poor vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction : Dealers will inspect and replace the rear crossmember assembly as necessary.

Description (français)

Dans certains véhicules, le support de bras d'assistance de traverse arrière pourrait avoir été mal soudé lors de la fabrication. Par conséquent, les soudures pourraient se briser et nuire à l'alignement de la suspension arrière, ce qui nuirait au comportement routier du véhicule et augmenterait ainsi les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter l'ensemble de traverse arrière, ainsi que le remplacer au besoin.
