Concern

The rear suspension toe link could corrode over time leading to reduced material and load capacity and finally breakage of the bolt

Defect, as DVSA words it

The Rear Suspension Toe Link bolt is exposed to corrosion growth which over time leads to reduced material and load capacity and finally to a breakage of the bolt.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Replace the bolt utilising an alternative bolt supplier and update all affected vehicles.
