    REAR SHOCK ABSORBER MOUNTING MAY FAIL

    Defect

    It has been identified that the lower rubber mounting on the metal bush of the rear shock absorbers may fail to meet the quality requirement. Dependant on the mileage and operating conditions the rubber mounting may come completely free from the shock absorber. If this occurs the bodywork would no longer be supported above the wheels causing it to come into contact with the wheel concerned. Should this occur the possibility exists that a critical driving condition might occur or even the risk of an accident.

    Remedy

    Recalled vehicles will have the rear shock absorbers checked and replaced if necessary.
