Problem: The four u-bolts nuts on either side of the rear axle were under-torqued.

Risk: Vehicle usage could cause the nuts to loosen and eventually fall off the u-bolt. This could result in sudden loss of vehicle control increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.

Fix: Dealers will check the u-bolt nut torque and re-torque any loose u-bolts to specification.
