What NHTSA recorded
The involved vehicles may contain incorrect shock absorber mounting washers. These incorrect washers prevent either the upper or lower shock absorber eyes from rotating freely when the suspension system moves, causing stress on the shock absorber eye. This could lead to premature failure, causing collapse of the suspension and a locked wheel.
Remedy
The dealer will replace the cupped shock absorber mounting washers with flat ones, without charge.
