Defect

The bracket securing the rear shock absorber to the frame has insufficient strength. Vibration and load during driving cause cracks to develop in the bracket. Continued use allows the bracket to fracture and separate from the frame, reducing damping force. The brake pipes fixed to the bracket are also damaged, causing brake fluid to leak. This activates the warning system and reduces braking force.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the bracket with a corrected part and inspect the brake pipes in the affected area. Replace any damaged brake pipes with new parts.
