On certain vehicles, the front suspension track bar frame bracket may have been improperly welded during the manufacturing process. As a result, bracket welds may break and allow the bracket to separate from the frame rail. A separated front suspension track bar frame bracket will cause diminished steering response, which could affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front suspension track bar frame bracket. For vehicles found without a separated front suspension track bar frame bracket and/or cracked weld(s), additional support brackets will be installed. For vehicles found with a separated front suspension track bar frame bracket and/or cracked weld(s), a new front suspension track bar frame bracket will be welded to the frame.
