| Description of the problem | Was reversing out of my driveway and heard metal clank sound coming from front passenger side. I then kept driving down the block and heard something metal fall on the road. I got out and found a piece of a spring. It had rust on it where it cracked off. Brought to dealer and they said it needed to be replaced and was not covered under any recall. This car model had a recall for the springs (nhtsa campaign number: 15v629000) but for some reason my car was not covered under that recall as per the vin lookup. Obviously my car has that issue, the only recal similar is the under body corrosion recall, but they told me that this does not cover this type of corrosion. |
