Hazard
In the damping device, the nut material securing the rear suspension arm is inappropriate, causing premature corrosion cracking in some vehicles. This results in loosening of the arm attachment fasteners, leading to rattling and abnormal noise. In worst cases, steering control may become impaired.

緩衝装置において、リヤサスペンションアームを固定するナットの材料が不適切なため、早期に腐食割れが生じるものがある。そのため、アーム固定部のネジが緩むことでがたつき、異音が発生し、最悪の場合、ハンドル操作が正常に行えなくなるおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the affected nut with a serviceable part on all vehicles. Additionally, replace bolts and arm components with new parts if damage is present.
