Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, improperly manufactured lock nuts may have been used on the rear wheel tie rod connection, and as a result, the rear wheel alignment may change and the rear axle may steer independently.
Why it matters: A change of the rear wheel alignment and independent steering of the rear axle may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lock nuts on the rear tie rods, free of charge. The recall began on June 24, 2016.
