AM GENERAL REPLACEMENT FRAME
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
AM General is recalling certain replacement frames manufactured between February 18, 2010, and January 31, 2011, that were sold for use on model year 1987-1994 United States Postal Service Long Life Vehicles. Cracks may develop in the welds that attach the steering gear bracket to the frame. If the steering gear bracket separates from the frame but remains attached via the stabilizer bar bracket, the vehicle's steering response would be reduced, which could lead to loss of vehicle control and a motor vehicle crash.
AM General will notify owners and install reinforcement brackets on the vehicles at no charge. The safety recall began on October 3, 2011. Owners may contact AM General at 1-877-782-0466.
