What NHTSA recorded

The bolts that attached the rear suspension control arms to the frame and axle may be defective and the bolt head may separate from the bolt shank. This could allow the control arm to come loose.

Remedy

The dealer will replace all suspect rear suspension control arm bolts prior to delivery. This will be done free of charge.
