Details
What's wrong: The steering knuckle castings on certain passenger vehicles may have been contaminated during the casting process.
Why it matters: These knuckles can break, resulting in possible loss of steering control.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the steering knuckle for the casting number. If the knuckle was in the defective batch, the steering knuckle will be replaced. Owner notification is expected to begin during January 2002.
