Details
What's wrong: The welds at the right side lower control arm bracket to axle tube attachment may have inadequate fatigue life due to poor weld quality. This can lead to separation of the control arm bracket from the axle tube.
Why it matters: If the bracket separates the vehicle could experience reduced directional stability, braking degradation and/or vehicle pull under braking.
The fix: Dealers will replace the front axle with a properly welded front axle.
