Recall 2003031

The issue

On certain vehicles, the front lower control arm ball joints could experience a loss of lubrication, which could eventually allow the knuckle to separate from the lower control arm while the vehicle is in operation. A ball joint separation could possibly result in a loss of directional control. Correction: Dealer will replace both front lower control arm ball joints.

Description (français)

La rupture d'un joint à rotule risque de causer une perte de contrôle et de provoquer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les deux joints sphériques de bras oscillant inférieur avant.
