excessive enlargement of the wheel cylinder pilot hole in the rear brake backing plate could allow the wheel cylinder to rotate and cause loss of brake fluid. consequence of defect: a loss of brake fluid leads to loss of rear brake action, creating the potential for an accident. front brakes would remain operational.

rear axle assembly may have axles that were improperly manufactured. this condition may result in separation of the axle shaft and wheel assembly from the vehicle.

SUSPENSION : REAR

the bolts that attach the lower rear control arm to the frame may fracture. the rear control arm supports and positions the rear axle. fracture of the bolts would allow the control arm to drop free.

SEAT BELTS : FRONT
