NHTSA recall 99V066001
Suspension · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: If the rubber boots on the lower lateral arm ball joints of the front suspension were damaged during assembly, dirt and water can intrude.
Why it matters: This condition could cause the lower lateral arm ball joint to separate, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the rubber boots, and if the boot is damaged, they will replace the lower lateral arm and ball joint on the affected vehicles.
