Defect
The post-paint manufacturing process for the rear axle is inadequate, causing the attachment nuts securing the rear axle positioning links and shock absorbers to the axle to loosen, producing abnormal noise. Continued use in this condition can, in the worst case, allow the lower link to detach and compromise driving stability.
Corrective action
Tighten the attachment nuts on all vehicles to the specified torque.
