What can happen

Safety consequence

A SPRING LEAF MAY FRACTURE THROUGH THE CENTER HOLE SECTION. THIS OCCURS DUE TO LOOSENING OF THE SPRING-TO-AXLE MOUNTING ATTACHMENT FOLLOWING EXTREME FLEXING OF THE SPRING LEAVES. THIS KIND OF FRACTURE MAKES THE REMAINING TWO LEAVES VULNERABLE TO PROGRESSIVE FRACTURE.

What fixes it

Official remedy

VEHICLES WILL HAVE THE THREE-LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED UNIT.
