What was wrong

Defect

THE INVOVLED VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER VEHICLES". THE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO PROPERLY SUPPORT THE VEHICLE AT A HEIGHT FOR PROPER ROAD CLEARANCE.

Manufacturer remedy

THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A TORSION BAR OF SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE PROPERLY, AT NO COST TO OWNER.
