Recall 2002214

The issue

On certain vehicles, insufficient clamp load at the attachment of the lower control arm ball joint to the steering knuckle may result in separation of the joint or fracture of the ball joint stud. If this should occur while the vehicle is in motion, loss of vehicle control may result. Correction: Dealers will verify the torque of the steering knuckle pinch bolt and tighten as necessary.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, un serrage insuffisant entre le joint à rotule du bras oscillant inférieur et la fusée de l'essieu peut entraîner une séparation du joint ou le bris de la tige du joint à rotule. Si cela se produisait lorsque le véhicule est en marche, le conducteur pourrait perdre la maîtrise de la direction. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront vérifier le couple du boulon de serrage de la fusée de l'essieu et le serrer au besoin.
