Details

What's wrong: The affected front strut mounts did not contain a weld joint between the bearing housing and the rate plate.

Why it matters: The absence of the weld can allow the strut to come out of its mounting position under certain extreme driving conditions which could cause damage to surrounding vehicle components increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Ride control will notify owners of record and replace the affected parts free of charge. The safety recall began on March 15, 2010.
