If the left side tower cracking goes undetected by the operator and separates from the frame, the shock tower may damage the rear wheel brake lines.  If this happens, this may result in reduced system pressure creating the potential for increased stopping distances.  Correction:  Spring/shock towers will be inspected and vehicles exhibiting cracking will have the towers replaced with a tower that incorporates reinforcement.  Vehicles that do not exhibit cracking will have a weld on reinforcement added.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"835","part_number":null,"units":8630,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Suspension","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certaines camionnettes équipées d’un moteur diesel ou V10, les colonnes d’amortissement de la suspension avant peuvent se fissurer et éventuellement se détacher du cadre du véhicule. Si les fissures de la colonne gauche passent inaperçues et que cette dernière se détache, il se peut que les canalisations de freinage arrière soient endommagées et que la chute de pression subséquente dans le système de freinage fasse augmenter les distances de freinage.  Correction : Les colonnes d’amortissement devront être vérifiées et celles qui sont fissurées devront être remplacées par des colonnes renforcées.
