NHTSA recall 96V252000

What's wrong: The rear axle track bar bracket can separate from the frame due to missing welds or inadequate weld penetration.

Why it matters: If both brackets separate, the rear axle can move laterally until the tires contact either the frame or the wheelhouse resulting in either tire damage or a significant reduction in vehicle handling performance.

The fix: Dealers will install a track bar bracket reinforcement kit and inspection of the axle tubes. The suspect axle tubes do not have a stamped date code on the tube. Axles without date codes on the tubes will be replaced.
