Metal reinforcement plates (2 per vehicle) attached to the underside of the frame on a limited number of the subject model vehicles may be fabricated
from high carbon steel. Because of the high carbon content the spot welds attaching the plates to the frame are brittle and may break loose in service.
Broken welds will result in detachment of the plate and possible frame damage.
To eliminate the possibilty of frame damage, the vehicle(s) identified on the attached listing must be corrected immediately by removing the existing
plates and installing the supplied new plates. Refer to the attached Service Procedure for complete plate replacement instruction.
Listed stock vehicles must be brought in and corrected immediately. Do not wait until new vehicle preparation to perform this service. If you have
already delivered a suspect vehicle, please contact and advise your customer to return it as soon as possible for corrective service.
