NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH NEWAY ANCHORLOK REAR SUSPENSIONS. THE SUSPENSION EQUALIZING BEAM COULD HAVE DEFECTIVE SUSPENSION SHAFTS WHICH COULD FRACTURE INSIDE THE BEAM AND WORK LOOSE FROM THE BEAM. SHOULD THE SHAFT SEPARATE FROM THE BEAM, THE TRANSVERSE BEAM COULD CONTACT THE ROADWAY GENERATING SPARKS. THIS CONDITION MIGHT ALSO AFFECT VEHICLE STABILITY AND CONTROL WHICH COULD POSE A HAZARD TO OTHER USERS OF THE ROADWAY AND ADJACENT PROPERTY. CORRECTION: ALL EQUALIZING BEAMS WITH NON-CONFORMING SHAFTS WILL BE REPLACED.
