Suspension Vehicle recall #10V110000 · 2010 · 5,375 vehicles

What's wrong: The braun corporation has notified NHTSA about a defect in certain model year 2005-2008 general motors mobility conversion, handicapped accessible low floor minivans. During conversion, the driver or passenger side trailing arm modification May not have been adequately welded.

Why it matters: A squeaking or clunking noise May develop. The trailing arm bushings May prematurely wear and the trailing arm May fracture or separate, allowing the rear axle to become partially separated from the chassis increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and will have a supply of retrofit parts available to remedy the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on June 4, 2010.
