Defect
Improper painting of the rear suspension stabilizer bar has caused paint to accumulate at the joint between the stabilizer bar and the support beam. Continued use allows the fastening nut at that joint to loosen and, in the worst case, the nut may fall off, the joint may separate, and the vehicle may become inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, remove the accumulated paint at the joint and retorque the nut to the specified value.
