Recall 99V071000: Suspension/Subframe Insulator Defect

Vehicle Description: Passenger mini vans.

The left and/or right front lower insulator to cradle center metal sleeve is collapsed, which can result in loss of clamp load in the joint. If the clamp load is reduced or lost, the bolt can be lost or broken and the joint can separate. If not repaired, separation of the opposite side joint could occur resulting in steering shaft separation.

Dealers will replace the left and right front lower cradle-to-suspension insulators and the attaching bolts.
