Defect
In the suspension system, improper assembly work instructions for the cushion connecting plate—which links the rear cushion arm to the swing arm—result in some units having the plate installed in the reversed orientation. Repeated driving over rough or uneven road surfaces can cause the plate to fracture. In the worst case, driving stability may be compromised.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the cushion connecting plate installation orientation; on affected units, replace the cushion connecting plate and dust seal with new parts.
