Details

On certain vehicles that had rear axle reinforcement brackets installed as part of safety recall 2010-284, the brackets may not have been installed properly, which could limit the effectiveness of the recall service repair in addressing the safety defect.

Safety recall 2010-284 was conducted to address the risk that the combined effects of corrosion and stress can lead to a complete fracture of the axle.

If the rear axle fractures, and the reinforcement brackets were not installed properly, vehicle handling may be adversely affected, increasing the risk of a crash.

Correction: Dealers will inspect the rear axle reinforcement brackets that were installed as part of recall 2010-284.

If one or both brackets are found improperly installed, the dealer will replace the rear axle.
