What is 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.
The risk
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.
