What is wrong
THE BOLTS THAT CLAMP THE MOR/RYDE SUSPENSION BEAM AND LOWER MOUNTING PLATE TO THE AXLE MAY BREAK AS A RESULT OF MISALIGNMENT OF THE BOLTS DUE TO NON-PARALLEL SURFACES OF THE UPPER BEAM PLATE AND THE LOWER BOTTOM PLATE. ANOTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IS THE ABSENCE OF SHEAR BLOCKS TO THE UPPER SPACER PAD.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
MANUFACTURER WILL INSTALL NEW MOR/RYDE BEAM ASSEMBLIES, LOWER MOUNTING PLATES, BOLTS, NUTS AND WASHERS.

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.
