Details

What's wrong: On certain vehicles, in extreme conditions of use, the forks fastening the front and rear lower suspension levers to the chassis can break or crack. This could lead to increased stress on the threaded pins' anchorage areas which could also cause the possible breakage of the forks.

Why it matters: This could lead to a loss of a vehicle control and could result in a crash.

The fix: Dealers will install new front and rear lower suspension forks free of charge. The recall began May 19, 2005.
