Reason for concern

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE LOST

Reason for recall

Bolts (identified by CFL marking on head) connecting the lower wishbone assemblies to the vehicle chassis may be out of specification and at risk of failure. The failure of a single bolt is expected to have no adverse effect on the handling or integrity of the vehicle. A secondary failure mode on more than one bolt is likely to result in an unstable vehicle that will be difficult to control and will not handle in a normal way. The risk is that the driver could lose control of the vehicle.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where a lower wishbone assembly is found to besecured with bolts marked �CFL� the bolts will be replaced with a bolt manufactured by a different supplier. All eight bolts in the lower wishbone assemblies irrespective of the manufacturer of the originally fitted bolt will be replaced when one or more bolts with the �CFL� marking are replaced.
