| Defect Summary | Vehicle description: passenger vehicles originally sold or currently registered in connecticut, delaware, district of columbia, illinois, indiana, iowa, kansas, kentucky, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, nebraska, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia, west virgnia, and wisconsin. the rear lower subframe mount plate nut can experience stress corrosion cracking if subjected to long term exposure to road salts. this can result in fracture and loss of the structural integrity of the subframe mount attachment. detachment of the body mounts at the rear corners of the subframe, which supports the engine and transmission, allows the rear corners of the subframe to drop. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If both rear corners drop, steering would become suddenly very difficult, affecting vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will install subframe rear mount bolts, reinforcement plates, and plate nuts. | |||||||||||||||
