The defect

There IS a possibility that either the suspension system, the steering system, or the floor pan where the seats are attached may separate from the undercarriage. This IS due to an advanced state of corrosion in certain areas of the undercarriage caused by salt and/or sand which accelerates the rate of corrosion.

The remedy

Vehicles will be inspected and tested. If necessary, vehicle will be repurchased from the owner at a price based on the degree of vehicle depreciation.
