Recall 82V-107: 1980–1981 Aurora GRX
AURORA CARS, LIMITED recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Nov 1, 1982, covering about 31 vehicles.
The problem
On involved vehicles, the rear axle hub upright, which connects the hub carrier to the lower control arm, may pivot slightly. This condition will occur if the bolts attaching the upright to the hub carrier are not kept tight, combined with severe cornering conditions. This pivoting condition will cause the bolts to elongate the holes of the upright, resulting in rear wheel vibration. This will eventually lead to hub carrier breakage.
The fix
The dealer will inspect and replace the upright part of the hub assembly at no charge.
