Recall 00V008000: Front Strut Mounting Bolt Breakage
Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles. Insufficient strength of the mounting base on the upper end of the front struts can lead to breakage of the
mounting bolts that attach the upper end of the front struts to the vehicle body. If the strut broke loose, a driver could lose control of the vehicle,
increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will add a reinforcement, for both front struts, between the front strut mounting base and the vehicle body. In addition, the front strut mounting
bases, mounting bolts and nuts, and strut bar stays will be replaced.
