Defect
The mounting bolts on the frame side of the V-type torque rod connecting the frame to the rear axle are improperly torqued on some vehicles. Continued use causes play to develop at the rod mounting points. In the worst case, the rear axle shifts, causing the tires to contact the frame and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
Inspect all vehicles. On any vehicle with insufficient bolt torque, retighten the bolts to the specified torque value. Replace any damaged bolts, V-type torque rods, or brackets with new parts.
