Details

What's wrong: The bottom leaf on the leaf springs may rotate out of position and make contact with the tire.

Why it matters: This will cause the tire to blow out without warning and a loss of control of the vehicle resulting in property damage and/or personal injury or death.

The fix: Dealers will place two square bend "u" bolts with washers and nuts and retaining plate that will be centered on the spring center bolt to restrain the lower spring leaf. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on February 3, 2011.
