FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER MAY CORRODE AND FAIL AT LOWER CONTROL ARM REAR PIVOT MOUNTS IF OPERATED WHERE SALT IS USED TO AID IN SNOW REMOVAL. Remedy: INSTALL ATTACHMENT REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS TO PREVENT CONTROL ARM DETACHMENT AS A RESULT OF CORROSION WEAKENING.
LOCATION OF HYDRAULIC BRAKE TUBE TO BOTH REAR WHEELS CAUSES INTERFERENCE AND CHAFING BETWEEN THE TUBES AND REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM PIVOT BRACKETS. Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT REAR WHEEL BRAKE TUBES AND REROUTE TO ENSURE PROPER TUBE TO PIVOT BRACKET CLEARANCE. ANY DAMAGED TUBES WILL ALSO BE REPLACED.
We checked Transport Canada's recall database for this make, model and year.

On certain vehicles, the crossmember can become abnormally corroded at the lower control arm attachment. This could result in lower control arm separation and loss of vehicle control. Correction: crossmembers will be inspected and replaced if corrosion is excessive. Remainder will have crossmember retaining brackets installed.
On certain vehicles, hydraulic brake tube routing to both rear wheels may allow interference between the tubes and the rear suspension trailing arm pivot brackets. Abrasion resulting from such interference may result in tube fatigue and partial loss of braking capability.
On certain vehicles, hydraulic brake tube may interfere with exhaust system hangar bolt and eventually result in brake fluid leakage. This could create a partial loss of braking capability. Should this occur the brake warning light on the instrument panel will warn driver.
On certain vehicles, the electrical fuel filler door release is activated through a solenoid mounted to the back side of the fuel filler tube housing. A combination of loose solenoid attachment screws and an internal short circuit of the solenoid to its housing may allow arcing to occur at the solenoid attaching screws. Such arcing could ignite fuel vapours that may be present at the fuel filler pipe cap.
