The issue
On certain vehicles, the rear-suspension toe-links may have been installed incorrectly (i.e., in the reverse direction). If a toe-link is installed in this incorrect direction, the bolt at the outboard attachment could come loose and fall out over time, which could cause the toe-link to disconnect from the rear-suspension system. If a rear-suspension toe-link becomes disconnected, the driver may lose the ability to control the vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and reorient the toe-links as required.
Description (français)
Les biellettes de pince de la suspension arrière de certains véhicules pourraient avoir été mal posées (c.-à-d. en sens inverse) et leur boulon de fixation extérieur pourrait se desserrer avec le temps et tomber, ce qui séparerait la biellette de la suspension arrière. Dans ce cas, le conducteur pourrait perdre la maîtrise du véhicule, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les biellettes de pince et modifier leur orientation, le cas échéant.
