Recall 1994137

The issue

On certain G3 vehicles, the lower control arms could develop a crack in the flange end of the control arm near the ball joint pad. With continued use, the crack could propagate to the ball joint mounting hole resulting in the separation of the ball joint from the control arm. This could result in loss of steering control and a crash without prior warning. Correction: A reinforcement brace will be installed on each of the front lower control arms.

Description (français)

Sur certains G3, les bras de suspension inférieurs de ces véhicules peuvent se fissurer au niveau de l'extrémité bridée, près des tampons des joints à rotule. À l'usage, la fissure peut se propager aux trous de montage du joint à rotule, entraînant la séparation de ce dernier du bras de suspension. Il se peut alors que le conducteur perde le contrôle de la direction et soit victime d'un accident imprévisible. Correction: Un renfort devra être installé sur chaque bras de suspension inférieur avant.
