Campaign - Rear Lateral Link Replacement
Customer Satisfaction - Replacement of Rear Lateral Link Assemblies
# 04067 - (Nov 24, 2004)
REPLACEMENT OF REAR LATERAL LINK ASSEMBLIES
Models:
2002-2004 SATURN VUE VEHICLES
ALL SATURN RETAILERS AND AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS
The rear lateral link assemblies of certain model year 2002-2004 Saturn VUE vehicles may deform if subjected to a handling maneuver similar to that
performed in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA' s) newly implemented Dynamic Maneuvering Test ("Fishhook" Test).
Deformation of the rear lateral link could result in the tire and wheel tipping inward until the tire contacts the trailing arm. If the tire were to contact the
trailing arm, tire rotation would be inhibited.
To prevent the possibility of this condition occuring, Saturn retailers will replace the rear lateral link assemblies, check and adjust wheel alignment and
increase front/rear cold tire inflation pressures. This service will be performed at no cost to the owner.

Transfer of Customer Satisfaction Program Responsibility
Saturn vehicles that have been sold to you, which may be closer in proximity to another Saturn Retailer, may still appear on your Facility VIN Listing. If
you determine that it is more desirable for a vehicle on your Facility VIN Listing to be serviced by another Saturn Retailer, responsibility may be
transferred by completing a Recall Vehicle Action Report and submitting it to your Customer Assistance Manager (CAM) at the Saturn Customer
Assistance Center.
