Note: This problem affects vehicles operated in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The unique soil properties in this region could make a toe link more likely to break. rn rnSafety Risk: rnA loss of stability could increase the risk of a crash. rn rnCorrective Actions: rnThe company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install improved rear suspension toe links.
