RJ-0959-2

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:53

The coil spring for the front wheel is improperly formed and it lacks corrosion-resistance. Because of these, the coil spirals touching each other or mud water in the noise absorbing tube may damage the coil coating, causing corrosion. If left unfixed, in the worst case, the coil spring breaks, and the vehicle becomes stalled.
