Road salt may cause front spring fracture
Crash riskRoad salt can corrode the front coil springs, and a corroded spring may break. A broken spring can hit the tire and puncture it, which raises the risk of a crash.
Fix: The dealer will replace the front coil springs at no cost to you, and vehicles previously registered in salt-belt states are eligible even if they now live elsewhere.
