Defect
The stabilizer bracket in the rear suspension — a bracket that retains the anti-roll device — has insufficient strength. Repeated driving on winding mountain roads may cause cracks to develop in the bracket. In the worst case, the bracket fractures and also damages the rear brake pipes, reducing braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, install a reinforcing plate connecting the left and right brackets. Any bracket found to have cracks shall be repaired by welding.
