This would allow the idler arm to separate from the frame rail, resulting in diminished steering control, which could lead to a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will replace the tubular shaped spacer bracket with a solid spacer block.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"FL-581","part_number":null,"units":608,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Direction","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules 4900SA, la cale servant à raccorder le bras de renvoi d'essieu directeur arrière au longeron de cadre de châssis pourrait se fissurer et finir par se briser dans des conditions de braquage difficiles.
