What is wrong

The affected vehicles were built with outer tie rod ends with incorrect taper ball studs. The incorrect tapered ball studs can fracture within 50,000 miles.

The risk

A fractured ball stud can result in a noticeable shake or shimmy and could cause the affected wheel to tuck inward or outward, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the outer tie rod ends and replace the incorrectly tapered ball studs.
