Defect description

THE REAR HANGER BRACKETS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS. THESE CRACKS COULD PROGRESS AND CAUSE BRACKETS TO FAIL COMPLETELY. BECAUSE THE BRACKETS ARE LOCATED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE AXLE HOUSINGS, FAILURE OF THE BRACKETS COULD CAUSE ONE AXLE OF THE SET OF AXLES TO SEPARATE FROM THE CHASSIS.

Manufacturer remedy
