Summary
CRACKS IN THE STRUCTURAL WALLS OF THE FRONT FRAME ASSEMBLY RIGHT REAR BODY MOUNT BRACKET. LOADS ON THE BRACKET DURING VEHICLE USE COULD CAUSE FAILURE OF THE RIGHT BRACKET AND BOTH REAR BODY MOUNTS COULD EVENTUALLY DETACH FROM THE FRAME STRUCTURE. IF THIS OCCURRED THE REAR OF THE FRAME WOULD DROP FURTHER POSSIBLY CAUSING THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT TO BECOME DETACHED FROM THE RACK AND PINION STEERING ASSEMBLY RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. *TT
