What NHTSA recorded

The springs are held up by a metal support around each shock absorber. Vehicles driven regularly in areas where roads are salted during wintertime are subject to rusting of these supports. Rusting may eventually allow the spring to break through the support.

Remedy

The spring supports and shocks will be inspected; depending on condition, the components will be rustproofed or replaced, if necessary.
