TEIN now has a NEW and improved lower bracket design. It has been discovered that the Front lower mounting bracket of the FLEX and TYPE HT dampers for the above listed vehicles may have higher risk of damage and/or failure if installed improperly or not properly maintained. A revised version of the lower bracket was put into production in 2005, which will decrease such risk, even if improperly installed or maintained. This exchange program exists for kits which have the Pre-2005 style lower brackets. As of the posting of this document the products mentioned below are subject to voluntary exchange.

Pre-2005 Style Bracket
If the lower bracket lock on the vehicle has been used in a loosened state for a long period of time, it may place added stress on abnormal points on the bracket thereby increasing the risk of bending and cracking. Such cracks or bends could lead to unexpected corrosion which may again increase the likelihood of additional damage.

Improved Style Bracket
In comparison, the improved style brackets have a double walled design (pictured below) and are currently provided in our kits. These Improved Style Brackets will be provided to those customers participating in the voluntary exchange program.

TEIN will exchange the Pre-2005 style brackets for Improved Style Brackets, on a one for one basis. The exchange part will be a direct replacement part and only for the exact same application.

How to Identify kits that contain Pre-2005 Brackets
Detailed product information can be found on the Product Sticker located on the lower mounting bracket. There is a sticker at the bottom of each individual coilover. Please copy down or take a picture of the information listed on the sticker, then cross reference that information with the chart in figure 1. If your TEIN products fall within the information listed on the chart please participate in this Voluntary Exchange Program.
