Suspension: rear: shock absorber

What is wrong
One or both of the rear suspension lower spring seats are not securely attached to the shock absorber and can slide lower onto the shock absorber than intended. The rear spring would no longer function to support the vehicle body at its normal height.
Risk
Loss of rear spring support can increase the potential for a vehicle accident if it occurs while the vehicle is moving.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the vehicle to determine whether the rear shock absorbers are from the suspect production. If the shock absorbers are from the suspect production, the shock absorber/spring seat assemblies will be replaced.
