The risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because, due to possible defects in the coating of the front shock-absorber unit, the brackets holding the stub-axles in place could yield to corrosion. As this corrosion progresses, it is possible that the stub axles could work themselves loose.
Product: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 1997 and 2002 and have a vehicle identification number in the range: TSMMS*35S00316394 to TSMMS*35S00907700. All vehicle owners will be notified and dealers will provide information on the measure, code 201009.
