Service bulletin 9100446

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

"Frt Stabilizer assembly BSR from the front end due to Smartbar (disconnecting front sway bar). Root cause was identified as anti-rotation bracket (connects the actuator to the stabar) coming loose due to inadequate clamp load at the joint and weld (holds the bolt shaft and bracket flange) was poorly designed. If any vehicle causes BSR because of this Bracket failure (loose joint/ bracket bends) DO NOT replace whole stabar assembly, instead replace with the service kit (PN#68730602AA). Dealer must need to order the parts from part ordering system for this claim. This kit contains 1 bracket (PN 68730603AA), 3 M10 Nut (PN 68730605AA), 2 M8X1.5 Bolt (PN 68730606AA) and 2 M10X1.5 bolt (PN 06513427AA). 1 M10 Bolt (PN 68730607AA). This kit will also contain a new torque instruction for the bolt which holds the clamp bracket to this failed anti-rotation bracket. DO NOT apply the old torque (45+/5Nm Direct torque). The new torque is Angle controlled torque monitor (20Nm Snug torque, 110 deg Angle, monitor torque within 40-70Nm). Please use Service Library for your reference."

9100811 Rev 42026-07-02. Service bulletin. Clunking when going over bumps, potholes, or turns. During diagnosis dealers may find rubber separating from the bushing on the handling link (SOL S2102000004 Rev C. for reference). This is normal and most likely is not attributed to the noise. Please follow normal diagnosis and ensure all tie-rod and ball joints are properly torqued and if worn, replace. If diagnosis leads to lower control arm replacement, the tension link(s) should be replaced first then test driven to ensure noise has disappeared before any handling link replacements.
