## What is wrong

Certain vehicles may have a condition which could result in one of the rear suspension trailing arm bolts breaking.  If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, vehicle control would be affected and a crash could occur without prior warning.  Correction: Dealers will replace the rear suspension trailing arm fasteners.
