THR AXLE BEAM HANGER BRACKETS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE INSUFFICIENT WELD MATERIAL ATTACHING THE BRACKET TO THE AXLE HOUSING. THIS COULD CAUSE THE AXLE BEAM HANGER BRACKET TO SEPARATE FROM THE AXLE HOUSING WHICH IN TURN COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE VEHICLE OVERTURN. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND WELD STRENGTHENED WHERE NECESSARY.
