Details

What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that connects the upper control arm and the axle stub may not have been properly tightened.

Why it matters: The loose bolt may cause improper wheel tracking, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tightness of the bolt connecting the upper control arm and the axle stub on the affected vehicles, replacing the upper control arm if necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 2017.
