| Description of the problem | Nhtsa recall number: 16v596 recall date: august 10, 2016 manufacturer recall number: g0v quote "the remedy will involve the replacement of both suspension arms and encasing them in epoxy. An alignment will be performed, as well, and warning labels will be applied. " this is obviously unacceptable, as encasing them in epoxy will negate any ability to align the suspension for the remainder of the life of the vehicle. If this is occurring on this model how many others are identical, if no other model has issue, then issue new parts that have those design aspects incorporated. |
