Details

On certain vehicles, a manufacturing issue with the front lower ball joint could result in premature wear.

If the vehicle is operated for an extended period of time in this condition, the ball joint may eventually experience excessive wear and looseness, resulting in increased steering effort, reduced vehicle self-centering and noise in the front suspension.

In extreme cases, when the driver continues to operate the vehicle in this condition, the lower ball joint may separate from the knuckle causing a loss of vehicle steering control.

Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front lower ball joints.
