Defect
Improper painting of the chassis mating surface for the rear axle has resulted in excessive paint film thickness on some vehicles. Road vibration and similar inputs may cause the rear axle mounting bolts to loosen. Continued use may lead to fracture of the bolts and, in the worst case, detachment of the rear axle from the chassis, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, remove the paint from the mating surface and replace the mounting bolts with new parts.
