Ssangyong Musso ssangyong musso saracen 2019 side steps excessive rattling.

Car: Ssangyong Musso
Variant: Saracen Pickup
Model Year: 2019
Categories: Leaks & Noises
When removed to find cause, I found than the area where side steps fitted onto the body were showing serious signs of cracking in the bodywork, on both sides. Poss not a problem if vehicle had been driven solely on tarmac but I do a fair bit of driving on forest tracks, so reckon, increased vibration and weight of stainless steel steps caused cracking. Waiting on dealer confirming this is a warranty issue. Fingers crossed.
