What NHTSA recorded

Possible fatigue failure can occur in the frame support plates (front suspension pivot bar support plate) that connects a portion of the front suspension to the vehicle frame on the involved vehicles.

Remedy

The dealer will inspect support plates for indications of failure and, if necessary, will replace the plates. Additional support brackets will also be installed to reinforce the support plate at the pivot bar attachments.
