What NHTSA recorded

The spring eye bolt was not torqued properly and could fail due to the loose fit within the spring eye bushing/hanger bracket. Consequence of defect: the spring could fall onto the road surface, without warning to the driver, and a vehicle crash could occur due to the sudden drag of the spring.

Remedy

Not available at this time. In the interim the torque of the spring eye bolt will be checked.
