Defect
Certain vehicles were built with right rear body mounts that contain cracks or voids. A crack could propagate during use of the vehicle, resulting in audible creaking, groaning, or clicking noises. If the driver ignores these warnings, both rear body mounts could eventually become detached from the frame structure. If this occurred, the steering intermediate shaft could become detached from the rack and pinion steering assembly, resulting in a total loss of steering control.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the front frame assembly for specific Julian date stamps and replace the engine cradle assembly, if necessary.
