IF A VEHICLE IS SUBJECTED TO SIGNIFICANT ROADWAY IRREGULARITIES DURING HARD BRAKING, VIBRATION MAY OVERLOAD THE COMPRESSION BAR SYSTEM WHICH MIGHT CAUSE BREAKAGE OF THE FRONT WHEEL COMPONENTS. THIS WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF FRONT BRAKE STOPPING ABILITY, INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WHILE BRAKING. CORRECTION: A HIGHER STRENGTH COMPRESSION BAR SYSTEM KIT WILL BE INSTALLED ON EACH AFFECTED VEHICLE.
