SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
MY 2001 SABLE LS HAD THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLOW OUT THIS MORNING. I TOOK IT TO THE TIRE SHOP AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE REAR COIL SPRING BROKE AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. I TOOK THE CAR TO STU EVAN LINC MERC IN GARDEN CITY, MI AND I WAS TOLD THAT ONLY THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS ARE COVERED BY THE RECALL, NOT THE REAR COIL SPRINGS. IT'S THE SAME PART, JUST AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION ON THE VEHICLE - AND IT HAD THE SAME EXACT FAILURE AS THAT DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL FOR THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS. SEEMS THAT THE REAR SPRINGS SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. DEALER WILL REPLACE THE REAR COIL SPRING AND PERFORM THE RECALL ON THE FRONT - I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY COULD RECALL JUST THE FRONT AND NOT THE REAR. *NM
