Details
What's wrong: These vehicles were equipped with a sports-suspension stabilizer rather than a standard suspension stabilizer on the rear axle.
Why it matters: In certain driving conditions, such as fast lane changes at high speed, the vehicle could experience an 'over-steer' behavior affecting vehicle handling and control, which could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the rear axle stabilizer. The recall began on May 14, 2008.
