Summary

Some vehicles may exhibit a knocking noise from the rear of the vehicle when driving over a road bump. This may be caused by the bump stop (bound stopper) for the rear shock absorber coming out of the mounting rub-ber. To eliminate the concern, the bonding agent and the area to be covered have been changed to increase the bonding strength between the bump stop (bound stopper) and mounting rubber.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 2 complaints in the suspension category.
