What are the defects?
Due to a manufacturing defect, there is a possibility that the wiring harness retaining bracket on the front drive (R1) axle housing may interfere with the suspension lateral rod in certain severe operating environments. The lateral rod may sustain damage due to frequent impact with the wiring harness boss.
In the worst-case scenario, the lateral rod could fail due to this damage, resulting in vehicle instability. This could cause reduced stability while driving and result in a loss of vehicle control.
