What NHTSA recorded

Cracks have developed in the lower beam assemblies and the sway bar mounting bracket on the ridewell suspensions used to install the tiller axle.

Possible consequence

If the cracks are not detected and repaired, the tilleraxle may separate from the mounting bracket and move either sideways or fore andaft in the chassis, coming in contact with body components and impairingsteering capability. Loss of steering capability can lead to a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Modify the ridewell suspension hanger rail assemblies and replace the two lower beam assemblies to insure the tiller axle will not separate from the brackets.
