What NHTSA recorded

Front shock absorbers on some vehicles may have improperly welded mounting eyes. The shock absorber mounting could separate and cause the suspension to collapse if vehicle is driven on rough roads for a long period of time.

Remedy

The front shock absorbers on all involved vehicles will be checked and, if necessary, replaced without charge.
