What NHTSA recorded

The involved vehicles were produced with frames that may have inadequately welded #2 crossmember assemblies. This could occur if certain manual weld operations were not performed during frame fabrication. Severe operating conditions which may occur in police duty, may cause cracking around the gusset, allowing it to separate from the frame.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, reweld the manual weld areas on the #2 crossmember assembly.
