What is the danger
The product poses a risk of injuries due to a potential problem with a Rear Suspension Arm. In affected vehicles, if nuts for adjusting the rear wheel alignment are improperly tightened, backlash may develop at the thread portion of the arm (shaft and turn-buckle), followed by formation of rust.
Requirements breached
If this occurs, threads may wear, causing the arm to separate, which could result in loss of vehicle control.
