What NHTSA recorded

The involved vehicles were built with an aluminum rear bumper reinforcement attached to two steel mounting surfaces. In climates where large amounts of rock salt are used, the aluminum reinforcement could experience corrosion where it attaches to the vehicle.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect all involved vehicles for degree of corrosion. Where corrosion is severe, the aluminum reinforcement will be replaced with one made of steel. Where corrosion is not severe, dealer will install insulation materials between the aluminum and the steel components. This will be done at no cost to owner.
