Details

What's wrong: The arc welds on the sway bar bracket, where it attaches to the strut reserve tube, did not fuse properly.

Why it matters: Over time, a portion of the bracket can tear away from the strut, falling into and puncturing the tire or causing damage to the wheel, which could result in an accident.

The fix: Monroe dealers will replace the strut free of charge.
