NHTSA recall 98I002000

What's wrong: This is not a safety recall in accordance with federal regulation 573. However, it is deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the states of new york, michigan, ohio, illinois, wisconsin, pennsylvania, massachusetts, indiana, new jersey, maine, connecticut, new hampshire, rhode island, vermont, minnesota, iowa, missouri,…

Why it matters: The front tire could deflate due to a broken front coil spring contacting the tire, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

The fix: Customers with vehicles that have broken springs are to return their vehicle for spring replacement. Both springs will be replaced even if only one spring is fractured.
