Details
What's wrong: One or both of the attaching nuts for the right-hand lower control arm are under torqued. This can allow the attachment bolt to loosen and subsequent break resulting in separation of the lower control arm from the frame.
Why it matters: This condition can result in a loss of vehicle control.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and retighten the right-hand lower control arm nuts to the proper torque specification.
