"This can result in misalignment of the rear axle causing difficulty in maintaining directional control of the vehicle."


:shock: Are they aware that the triton is a spring over vehicle...???

Looks Like I'm smack Dab in the middle of one of them lists of VIN numbers. So better make a call. No letter this end yet. Mush have forgotten about me. Ohh well I'll get them to fix the Squeaky rear end and get it checked for sagging to while I'm at it.

Edit- Just made the call. My Service department is aware and stated it should be done ASAP rather then the next secluded service. Ohh well loose the car for another day. Not sure when yet, dealer tried to order some from MA yesterday and can't get any in. So awaiting the call to say they have been able to order and obtain some of the replacement parts.

Bloody eastern states substituting all our Murray water for sewerage. :P We don't get this sort of service down here. Water restrictions apparently? :?: :x

Hello guys,

Could you post a pic of the recall , so whoever is abroad like me , where the dealer is not so good , we can still ask to fix or we can modify our self accordingly ?
Will this fix the squeeze noise at the rear?
Thanks

I got home from tuff truck at midnight after 11 hr drive, up at 7 to clean up the car and drop it off at dealers - got there, no parts. :x

My wash and detail has now turned into an ecu reflash and power steering inspection and shudder inspection - waste my time i'll waste yours :|

No - my dealer owes me $30 for charging me for parts for the squeaky leaf fix, it's been about 3 months so i told them to wash and detail my car instead when it comes in for the recall. :twisted:
