Suspension — Rear — Springs — Leaf Spring Assembly

Summary
There may be inadequate welding in some underbody structural areas, including those at the rear suspension attachments, which may cause it to separate. Consequence of defect: If rear suspension attachments should separate from the underbody during vehicle use, the axle could shift during acceleration or braking and may adversely affect the steering control which may lead to an accident.
Actions
Reinforce suspect weld locations and modify to prevent weld failure.
