Issue:
On certain vehicles, a buildup of dirt and mud could cause the rear suspension toe links to break. This could result in a sudden loss of vehicle stability. Note: This problem affects vehicles operated in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The unique soil properties in this region could make a toe link more likely to break.
Safety Risk:
A loss of stability could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install improved rear suspension toe links.

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 205 - Glazing Materials. The Standard specifies that glazing which meets the testing requirements be marked with the characters "ASI" in close proximity to the designation of the trademark. This information was inadvertently omitted from this location; however, it is marked in the upper portion of the windshield, on both sides. Correction: Since this does not pose any safety risk, no corrective action is required.
