Details

On certain vehicles located in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador, the lower sub frame mount plate nut may corrode and fail due to exposure to road salt.

This could result in loss of structural integrity of the subframe mount attachment.

Detachment of the body mounts at the rear corners of the sub frame which supports the engine and transmission, allows the rear corners of the sub frame to drop.

Should both rear corners drop, steering control would be adversely affected.

Correction: Dealers will install subframe rear mount bolts, reinforcement plate and plate nuts.
