On certain vehicles, the rear suspension transverse beam castings were not made to specifications. If a casting were to break when the vehicle is in motion, parts could become projectiles with potential to cause property damage, personal injury or death. Also, the transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface causing sparks that could ignite a fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transverse beams.
A failure of this component (suspension) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles, testing procedures designed to verify that the ABS brakes are wired correctly and that all hardware is operational were not performed properly during vehicle assembly. As a result, the ABS brakes may have a system fault that may not be detected by the ABS electronic control unit and therefore will not illuminate the ABS warning light on the dash. Correction: Dealers will perform a complete diagnostic test on the ABS braking system to ensure all components and wiring are functioning as designed.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain vehicles, the air suspension height control valve may not be plumbed through an air pressure protection valve. In the event of a suspension air bag failure or rupture of the air line, there would be a loss of air pressure in the "B" system air reservoir that supplies air pressure for the front steer axle brakes. This condition would increase stopping distance of the vehicle and under certain conditions could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will install an air pressure protection valve in the "B" system air tank.

On certain vehicles, the ABS sensor bracket may not have been installed correctly on the front axle and may interfere with the brake hose return spring causing the brakes not to release or an unexpected front wheel lockup and possible loss of vehicle control. Correction: Dealers will reposition the ABS sensor bracket and replace the brake return spring and S-cam rollers.
