Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The main frame rails( that run from front back) have an extra cladding that is welded to the main frame rails. This area i am referring to is where a cross member( holding the weight of the rear engine and transmission) is welded to the cladding and the two main frame rails. The cladding was not completely welded so water has gotten between the cladding and main frame rails causing severe corrosion and failure of that connection point. Even though it could be said i take extremely good care of my vehicles this area suddenly presented as a bulge and subsequent discovery of an extreme failure. This consistent failure happened on both frame rail connection points. I feel that this failure will be overlooked as it was with me .... And could cause frame failure causing public harm.
