## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the left front transverse link components were produced with poor electro\-deposition coating 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 transverse link.  If such a breakage occurs while the vehicle is being operated, control of the vehicle could be affected.  Correction:  Dealer will rust\-proof the left side transverse link with anti\-rust wax.
