Details

What's wrong: A right-hand lower control arm tapered ball joint mounting hole was incorrectly machined. Movement within this attachment can allow the ball joint stud to fatigue and fracture.

Why it matters: If the ball joint fractured while the vehicle was in motion, loss of steering control to the vehicle can occur.

The fix: Dealers will replace the right-hand lower control arm and ball joint stud on all involved vehicles.
