EIBACH RECALL

[John Allen]

I was doing a recall search and found a recall for Eibach Aftermarket Suspension parts.

 

RECALL Subject : FRONT STRUT BRACKET SEPARATION

 

Report Receipt Date: OCT 27, 2006
NHTSA Campaign Number: 06E089000
Component(s): SUSPENSION

 

If I'm reading this report right, sounds like some of our cars could be affected. I remember when I got my "take off" parts from Shelby, they were in Eibach boxes so assuming Eibach parts were used in the conversions??

 

Sorry if this is old news and been covered here before.

Manufacturer: EIBACH SPRINGS, INC.
