Details

What's wrong: Some vehicles may experience a degradation of fastener torque for various front and rear axle attachments to the chassis module.

Why it matters: This could result in noise, or ultimately, degradation in steering and handling characteristics which could lead to loss of directional control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will re-torque all nineteen fasteners to the maximum residual torque values. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on March 24, 2011.
