What NHTSA recorded

The "a" frames on the vehicles have the potential to crack due to substitution a frame steel and improper tie down procedures during delivery. Also, inadequate weld may allow separation of the mounting plate from the crossmember. Detached mounting plates could result in canting (slanting) of the tire and wheel.

Remedy

The dealer will weld additional supports to the frame and mounting and to the "a" frame. The dealer will also replace washers and pipe spacers with rectangular load bearing spacers to reinforce the suspension/axle system at no charge to owner.
