REPLACE ROOF RACK MOUNTS
This service campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on affected vehicles (see VIN range on the following page) the bolts fastening the roof rack mounts may not have been hardened to specification. Dealer will replace the four roof rack mounts.
Please review the Effective Serial Number chart located on the following page, and if necessary, repair the subject vehicles during the vehicle's next service.
Prior to performing this Service Campaign:
- Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
- Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin.
Approximately 306 vehicles are affected.
Effective Serial Number Range
NOTE:
Every vehicle in the VIN range may not be included in the campaign. VMI must always be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the campaign is required on a specific vehicle. VMI always overrides the bulletin in reference to a specific vehicle's inclusion in a particular campaign. Please also note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
Procedure
1. Remove both roof trim strips (A, Figure 1).
2. Remove bolts (B) with plastic seals from all four roof rack mounts (C); remove the four roof rack mounts.
3. Install new roof rack mounts.
- Install new bolts and seals; torque bolts to 11 Nm.
4. Retorque all bolts to 9.5 Nm in the same sequence in which they were initially installed.
NOTE:
The bolts MUST be torqued to 9.5 Nm in their original installation sequence due to the settling properties of the plastic seals.
