VEHICLES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED SUSTAINED EXPOSURE TO HIGHLY CORROSIVE MATERIALS USED IN SOME JURISDICTIONS FOR ROAD DEICING PURPOSES MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE CORROSION IN THE VICINITY OF THE FORWARD MOUNTING POINT BRACKET FOR THE LEFT OR RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT SUCH CORROSION WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED.

Risk. EXCESSIVE CORROSION MAY RESULT IN THE LEFT OR RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET BECOMING DETACHED FROM THE FRAME, WHICH CAN AFFECT VEHICLE HANDLING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET AREA. FOR VEHICLES IN WHICH LITTLE OR NO CORROSION IS FOUND, THE AREA WILL BE TREATED WITH AN ANTI-CORROSIVE COMPOUND. FOR VEHICLES IN WHICH CORROSION HAS DAMAGED THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET AND AFFECTED ITS CONNECTION TO THE VEHICLE FRAME, A REINFORCEMENT BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED. IN THE RARE EVENT THE CORROSION IS SO SEVERE THAT THE REINFORCEMENT BRACKET REMEDY WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE, A REPURCHASE OFFER WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE VEHICLE'S OWNER. ALL INSPECTIONS AND REMEDIES WILL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE 10 YEARS OLD OR LESS. FOR VEHICLES OLDER THAN 10 YEARS, ISUZU WILL OFFER A FREE REMEDY, BUT ONLY IF THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTED TO AN ISUZU SERVICE FACILITY, OR HONDA DEALER (AS APPLICABLE), DEALER WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF WHEN OWNER NOTIFICATIONS WERE ISSUED.

2003 HONDA PASSPORT. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE, HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HIS MECHANIC TO HAVE AN EXHAUST PROBLEM REPAIRED.

HONDA MOTORS CORPORATION RECENTLY SENT US A RECALL NOTICE FOR SUSPENSION BRACKETS THAT NEEDED TO BE REINFORCED BECAUSE OF SEVERE CORROSION TO THE AREAS AFFECTED. THEY REINFORCED THE BRACKETS WITH A BOLT KIT ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT HAND SIDES. HOWEVER, WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR MAINTENANCE MECHANIC WHO DOES ALL OF OUR WORK ON OUR VEHICLES, HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS STILL SAFETY ISSUES WITH CONSIDERABLE CORROSION TO THE SUSPENSION FRAMES AND SURROUNDING AREAS. I TOOK PICTURES AND AM FORWARDING THEM TO HONDA MOTORS CORPORATION IN TORRENCE, CALIFORNIA WHERE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. ALSO PICTURES SENT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION IN WASHINGTON, DC. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM COLLAPSES, IT COULD CAUSE RUPTURE OF THE GAS TANK OR CUT THE BRAKE LINE SYSTEM ALTOGETHER. BE ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT/INCIDENT TO REPORT AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN OR ANY ONE FOR THAT MATTER. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS INFORMATIONAL SYSTEM WORKS, BUT IF YOU COULD EXPEDITE ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY MATTER IT WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
