On certain vehicles, road de-icing salt used during winter months may result in corrosion of the lower plate or the front lower control arm. Corrosion may proceed to the point where the lower plate becomes perforated and the front lower control arm fractures between its forward and rearward pivot attachments to the chassis. If the front lower control arm fractures, the wheel assembly may be allowed to move rearward in the wheel well opening during braking. Reduced control of the front wheel location may increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealer will replace the front lower control arm.
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, corrosion from winter road salt may cause pits to form on the lower coil of the front springs. These pits may allow cracks to develop, which can result in the breakage of the lower spring coil. If the front coil spring breaks, it may become displaced from its seated position and cause damage to a tire which in turn could result in loss of vehicle control. Correction: A spring guide will be installed which will prevent a broken coil from contacting and damaging a tire.

WHEN PRESSING AND RELEASING THE CLUTCH PEDAL, A BRACKET ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL LEVER MAY CONTACT THE ENGINE CONTROL WIRING HARNESS AND CAUSE ABRASION OF THE WIRING INSULATION. IF THIS OCCURS, THE DAMAGED INSULATION MAY RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT TO THE ENGINE CONTROL WIRING WHICH COULD CAUSE UNEXPECTED ENGINE STALL. CORRECTION: ENGINE CONTROL WIRING HARNESS WILL BE INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE AND REPOSITIONED TO ENSURE THAT CONTACT WITH THE BRACKET DOES NOT OCCUR.

AS A RESULT THE LOW BEAM LAMPS ARE EXTIGUISHED AS INTENDED, BUT THE HIGH BEAM LAMPS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. RETURNING THE SWITCH TO THE LOW BEAM POSITION WILL AGAIN ILLUMINATE THE LOW BEAMS. CORRECTION: TURN SIGNAL AND LIGHTING SWITCH ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES PRIOR TO FINAL SALE.
