In areas where large quantities of road salt are used, the front suspension coil springs have insufficient corrosion protection, and may be susceptible to corrosion.

Possible consequence

Excessive corrosion can cause spring failure and a broken spring could puncture a front tire, which increases the risk of a crash.
