## NHTSA's summary

16067 Service Update. Certain vehicles may have been built with two incorrect bolts for the attachment of the right hand strut to the body shock tower. The incorrect bolts are longer than the correct bolts and may contact the Ecoat and Shot Peening layers of the spring which could allow localized spring corrosion and may impact life expectancy. Dealers are to follow the service procedure and replace the two incorrect bolts as required.
