Tires: bead
- What is wrong
- These tires have bead damage which occured during tire mounting.
- Risk
- This damage to the tire reinforcing structure in the bead "toe" area causes a bulge in the sidewall after the tire is inflated. This condition will result in a slow air loss causing the tire to go flat. However, it is possible for the damage to result in a rapid air loss causing injuries to anyone if they were handling the tire when this occurred.
- Remedy
- Dealers will demount each tire and inspect for bead damage. If bead damage is found, the tire will be replaced.

Suspension: rear: springs: leaf spring assembly: u-bolt, leaf spring to axle
- What is wrong
- The four u-bolts nuts on either side of the rear axle were under-torqued.
- Risk
- Vehicle usage could cause the nuts to loosen and eventually fall off the u-bolt. This could result in sudden loss of vehicle control increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will check the u-bolt nut torque and re-torque any loose u-bolts to specification.
