Attention: Service Manager


Service Bulletin Number 04-03-09-003 is being released today and advises dealers to install two rubber insulators above the rear cross member to correct a knocking noise during hard or aggressive acceleration.

In addition to using this procedure to repair vehicles with this complaint, we are requesting that this repair be performed on all vehicles currently in your inventory. Completion of this procedure prior to vehicle sale or delivery will help ensure customer satisfaction and reduce the possibility of future complaints.

When performing this repair, it is important that the bolts that hold the insulators in place must be changed. The old bolts should not be reused when installing the insulators. Please see the bulletin for detailed instructions.
