Details

What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the rubber boot on the front suspension lower arm ball joint may have been damaged during manufacturing. The damage could cause the boot to leak lubricant grease which could then cause the ball joint to wear and loosen prematurely.

Why it matters: A loosened ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ball joint, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2014.
