- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2005035
- Manufacturer's number: 05020
- Reported: 2005\-02\-15
- Component: Suspension
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 737

## What is wrong

Certain vehicles were built with rear suspension knuckle bolts that are not to specification and could fracture under high loads that can occur in some driving conditions.  If the bolt fractures, the rear suspension linkage could detach from the knuckle and the rear wheel would be able to turn inboard or outboard.  Sudden changes could occur in vehicle handling and, particularly at higher speeds, the driver may not be able to control the vehicle and a crash could occur without warning.  Correction:  Dealers will replace both rear suspension knuckle bolts.
