Suspension
2010-10-08 · campaign 2010-341
Certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road de-icing material usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador) may experience excessive corrosion in the vicinity of the left or right forward mounting point bracket for the rear suspension lower link, prior to the time that such corrosion would normally be expected. In certain cases, excessive corrosion in this vicinity may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame, which can affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash resulting in property damage or personal injury. Correction: Inspection and repairs will be provided free of charge for vehicles that are ten years old or less. For vehicles over ten years old, GM of Canada will offer the same free remedy, but only if the vehicle is presented to a GM dealer no later than twelve (12) months after the owner notification letter mailing date.
