The problem
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. Paint was applied unevenly on the rear axles, resulting in insufficient paint hardness. Should this occur on the surface that contacts the rear axle lower link bracket bolt head and/or nut, the nut May loosen.
The risk
The bolt could detach fully, causing separation of the lower link from the rear axle, increasing the risk of loss of vehicle control.
The fix
Dealers will replace the rear axle lower link joint nut and bolt.
