## What is wrong

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITHOUT SURLYN\-COATED FOIL INSULATORS BETWEEN THE ISOLATOR AND BRACKET ASSEMBLIES AND THE REAR BUMPER REINFORCEMENTS. AN EPOXY COATING WAS ALSO OMITTED FROM THE BRACKET ASSEMBLIES. WHEN EXPOSED TO THE CORROSIVE ACTION OF ROAD SALT, THE ALUMINUM REAR BUMPER REINFORCEMENT COULD EXPERIENCE GALVONIC CORROSION AT THE ATTACHMENT SURFACES. THIS WOULD REDUCE THE STRENGTH OF THE REINFORCEMENTS AND COULD RESULT IN BUMPER SEPARATION.


## The remedy

DEALER WILL INSPECT REAR BUMPER ATTACHMENT COMPONENTS AND REPLACE THEM WITHOUT CHARGE, IF NECESSARY.


## Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES.SYSTEM: STRUCTURE; BUMPER ASSEMBLY, ATTACHMENTS.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: BUMPER SEPARATION COULD PRESENT AN OBSTACLE TO TRAFFIC,POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
