Defect

In the front suspension, the coil spring geometry is improperly designed, resulting in an unstable contact condition between the spring and its spring seat. When the vehicle experiences large suspension jounce events, the spring may shift and contact the inner surface of the spring seat. Continued use causes the coating to peel and corrosion to develop. In the worst case, the coil spring may fracture.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the front coil spring with a corrected part.
