What is wrong

The track control arms used to support the front wheels were improperly welded in the area of the flexible bushing mounting hole. This causes a gradual opening of the mounting hole and loosening of the bushing.

The risk

The enlarged opening of the mounting hole results infront wheel misalignment causing steering pull with the potential for anaccident.

The fix

Dealers will inspect and replace the front suspension control arms where necessary.
