Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, during the strut mount manufacturing process, the thrust bearing was not properly positions and secured. If the suspension is fully unloaded, the front strut could separate from the upper mount.
Why it matters: This could affect vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace both front spring strut upper mounts. Owner notification began March 15, 2002.
