## What is wrong

THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS, WHICH SUPPORT THE REAR WHEELS,    ARE SUBJECT TO CORROSION IF OPERATED IN AREAS WHERE A LARGE AMOUNT OF ROAD SALT  IS USED TO AID IN SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL.                                                                                                                           CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE TO ROAD SALT MAY CAUSE CORROSION      FAILURE OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AFFECTING VEHICLE OPERATION; THIS COULD RESULT  IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

RUST PROOF OR REPLACE LOWER CONTROL ARMS.  \(OWNER             NOTIFICATION WILL BEGIN IN MAY 1986\).


## Notes

SYSTEM: LOWER CONTROL ARMS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.
