On certain vehicles, the four u-bolt nuts on either side of the rear axle may be under torqued. This could cause the bolts to loosen and eventually fall off the u-bolt. Should this occur, the axle would eventually be free to provide steering inputs to the vehicle and a crash could occur. Correction: Dealers will check the u-bolt nut torque and torque any loose u-bolts to specification.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1996069.
