Defect
The front coil springs are improperly shaped and have insufficient corrosion resistance. During driving, coil-to-coil contact and mud water that accumulates inside the anti-noise tube strip the paint coating, allowing corrosion to progress. Continued use may cause the coil spring to fracture, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the front strut assembly with the corrected part.
