THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V163000 (SUSPENSION:REAR), WHICH STATED THAT THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A SHOCK REINFORCEMENT PACKAGE (SRP).

WHEN THE NEW SHOCK ABSORBER IS AVAILABLE, IT CAN BE INSTALLED FOR FREE THROUGH THE DEALER NETWORK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL SYSTEM INDICATED THAT HIS RECALL WAS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF; THEREFORE, THE DEALER WILL NOT COMPLETE THE SECOND PORTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.
