2010–2015 Cadillac SRX & 2011–2012 Saab 9-4X recall: suspension

⚠️ What's wrong

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX vehicles manufactured April 14, 2009, to September 1, 2014, and 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X vehicles manufactured February 1, 2011, to September 13, 2011. On the affected vehicles, the jam nut in the rear suspension toe adjuster link may not be torqued to the proper specification. A loose toe adjuster link can cause the vehicle to sway or wander at highway speeds. A loose toe adjuster link may lead to thread damage and eventual failure. Failure of the toe adjuster link will cause an abrupt change in the vehicle's alignment.

💥 The risk

Failure of the toe adjuster link could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix
