What is wrong
THE REAR HANGER BRACKETS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS. THESE CRACKS COULD PROGRESS AND CAUSE BRACKETS TO FAIL COMPLETELY. BECAUSE THE BRACKETS ARE LOCATED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE AXLE HOUSINGS, FAILURE OF THE BRACKETS COULD CAUSE ONE AXLE OF THE SET OF AXLES TO SEPARATE FROM THE CHASSIS.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL REPLACE SUSPECT HANGER BRACKETS WITH NEW BRACKETS OF A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
