## What is wrong

On certain vehicles operated in the "salt\-belt" provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland \& Labrador.  The rear suspension subframe components were produced with poor paint quality which, after continued exposure to corrosive road salts for a period of several years, may result in rust\-out of the component and possible breakage of the subframe.  Correction:  Dealer will clean and rust\-proof with anti\-rust oil and anti\-rust wax.
