NOTE:
Only the above vehicles sold or currently registered in "Salt Belt" states (where large amounts of road salt are used for snow and ice removal) are
involved.
Corrosion of the front brake rotors on about 290,000 of the above listed vehicles, may cause separation of the rotor disc from the center hub (hat)
section. This condition results from operating the vehicle for extended periods in geographic areas using large amounts of road salt for snow and ice
removal. Rotor separation may cause a reduction of brake effectiveness for the affected wheel which may increase stopping distance, cause the vehicle to
pull to one side when braking and cause an accident without warning. To correct this condition, both front brake rotors must be replaced. This recall does
NOT include replacement of any other brake components. If other brake service is required (brake shoe and lining, caliper, etc.), the additional
associated costs are the owner's responsibility.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer used vehicle inventory. Dealers should complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail
delivery. Dealers should also perform this recall on vehicles in for service as determined by using DIAL System Function 70.
