Koni recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Koni north america (koni) is recalling certain aftermarket, 30-series, shock absorbers; part numbers 30-1720 and 30-1721. The eye loop weld to the eye base did not have enough weld penetration and could result in a failed weld.
What could happen
The shock eye could separate from the base of the shock causing failure of the shock absorber. This could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Koni will notify owners and replace the shock absorbers free of charge. The safety recall began on december 19, 2011. Owners may contact koni at 1-800-209-3350.
