What the defect is
The distance between the spring beam axle locating pin and the "drop" in the spring beam does not provide adequate clearance between the brake caliper and the spring beam.
What could happen
The brake caliper housing can come in contact with thespring beam, reducing the effectiveness of the rear brakes; and the brakecaliper banjo fitting can be sheared off by the beam spring. Both conditionsreduce braking effectiveness and could result in an accident.
What gets fixed
REPLACEMENT AXLE SEAT SHIMS WILL BE PLACED BETWEEN THE AXLE SEAT AND SPRING BEAM TO SPACE THE AXLE FORWARD AND PROVIDE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE CALIPER AND THE SPRING BEAM. REPLACEMENT HOSES WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE HOSES AND THE SPRING BEAM.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 8 September 1994.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
