The problem
THE ALUMINUM REAR SPRING SHACKLE BRACKETS HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS WHICH CAN LEAD TO SEPARATION OF THE BRACKETS FROM THE FRAME RAIL.
Risk
THE SUSPENSION CAN DROP DOWN ON ONE SIDE, CAUSING A REDUCTION OF STEERING CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SPRING BRACKETS.
