  1. Frame and members (structure)

    NHTSA 79V078000 Reported 31,702 vehicles potentially affected FIAT MOTORS OF N.A., INC.

    There is a possibility that either the suspension system, the steering system, or the floor pan where the seats are attached may separate from the undercarriage. This is due to an advanced state of corrosion in certain areas of the undercarriage caused by salt and/or sand which accelerates the rate of corrosion.

    Remedy: Vehicles will be inspected and tested. If necessary, vehicle will be repurchased from the owner at a price based on the degree of vehicle depreciation.
