The problem
THE REAR SUSPENSION, FRONT SPRING HANGER MOUNTING ASSEMBLY MAY FAIL UNDER CERTAIN ROAD CONDITIONS. A HARD SHOCK TO THE REAR SUSPENSION MAY FORCE THE FRONT SPRING HANGER MOUNTING BOLTS TO SHEAR.
Risk
IF THIS OCCURS, THE REAR SUSPENSION WOULD COLLAPSE,RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND POSSIBLY AN ACCIDENT.
What owners should do
STRENGTHEN THE REAR SUSPENSION BY ADDING A PART TO THE SPRING HANGER WHICH WILL HELP CARRY THE LOAD OF THE CHASSIS AND REDUCE THE LEVERAGE OF THE SUSPENSION ON THE MOUNTING BOLTS.
