What Happened
The suspension system's carriage bolts in your aftermarket suspension system are crucial for keeping the suspension stable. Unfortunately, the wrong type of bolts were used, and they might not hold properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the bolts lose their grip, your vehicle could drop lower than usual, which could cause you to lose control and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Rock Krawler will contact you with instructions on how to get a free repair, which will replace the faulty carriage bolts with the correct ones. This is already being done for all affected units, but you should still contact them at 1-518-270-9822 to confirm.
