Recall 2018205

The issue

On certain vehicles, a lower loop of a rear shock absorber may separate and detach from its base cup due to an incorrect weld. If a separation were to occur, it could affect vehicle stability and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace one or both rear shock absorbers.

Description (français)

Sur certains modèles à long empattement, une boucle inférieure de l'amortisseur arrière pourrait se détacher de la base en raison d'une mauvaise soudure. Si une telle séparation survenait, la stabilité du véhicule serait compromise ce qui augmenterait les risques de collision causant des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires doivent inspecter et, au besoin, remplacer un des deux amortisseurs arrière ou les deux.
