POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
THE REAR HANGER BRACKETS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS. THESE CRACKS COULD PROGRESS AND CAUSE BRACKETS TO FAIL COMPLETELY. BECAUSE THE BRACKETS ARE LOCATED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE AXLE HOUSINGS, FAILURE OF THE BRACKETS COULD CAUSE ONE AXLE OF THE SET OF AXLES TO SEPARATE FROM THE CHASSIS.
Remedy: DEALER WILL REPLACE SUSPECT HANGER BRACKETS WITH NEW BRACKETS OF A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
