Service bulletins

1 bulletin

Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

TSB 20240627-1646

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

This Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) contains instructions to check, clean, Loctite, and re-torque the radius rod bolt. The radius rods absorb impact to keep load off of the main control arm bushing. Performing this TSB should improve the suspension and overall ride quality of the Vanderhall. If the bolt connecting a radius rod to the chassis becomes loose, this may cause (a) excessive vibration from an impact and (b) clunky noises from the front suspension upon impact, which may negatively affect the suspension and ride quality over time.

Reading this report

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
