## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the rear crossmember assist arm bracket may not have been properly welded during the manufacturing process. This could cause the welds to break and affect the rear suspension alignment, which would result in poor vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction : Dealers will inspect and replace the rear crossmember assembly as necessary.
