What NHTSA recorded

On the involved vehicles, the lateral radius rod could prematurely fail, allowing the rear axle to shift laterally while the wheels are turning or when the vehicle is operated over severe bumps or pot holes. Failure could occur due to a part number stamp that was added in the area of the bend on the rod.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the lateral radius rod without charge.
