Reason for concern

FRONT SUSPENSION STRUT TO KNUCKLE CLAMPING BOLT INSUFFICIENT TORQUE

Reason for recall

It has been identified that the front suspension strut to knuckle clamping bolt torque might be insufficient. The possibility therefore exists that should the assembly move within it's mounting the tyre may contact the wheel arch. Additionally in the case of FWD vehicles the shock absorber could contact the driveshaft.

Remedy

Subject vehicles will have the suspension strut checked for correct positioning and the clamp bolt tightened to the revised torque.
