Repair soon Suspension

A rear toe link fracture may reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

These vehicles may have rear toe links that received an improper amount of electrocoating (e-coat) corrosion protection, which could cause the e-coat to become brittle and break away when contacted by road debris. Over time, the e-coat may chip away, exposing the metal toe link and making it more susceptible to corrosion.

What to do: Book this in with a dealer now. It affects a safety system.

Repair when you can Electronic stability control (esc)

126, "electronic stability control systems (esc)." the stabilitrak system has an incorrect calibration that may cause the system to not properly detect if a sensor were to malfunction, and the warning light indicating that the system is not operating would not illuminate, as required in the safety standard.
