Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the pin at the end of the front suspension transverse link (lower control arm) could break where it is mounted to the frame.

Why it matters: This can cause a knocking sound and abnormal steering. This could result in difficulty controlling the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the transverse links on the left and right sides with new ones. Owner notification began July 29, 2002.
