The issue
On certain vehicles, a longitudinal crack in the steer arm assembly may intersect a tapered hole that is machined into the part and used to mount the draglink ball stud to the steer arm. If this crack should propagate, the ball stud could become loose resulting in a loss of steering. Correction: Dealer will replace the knuckle and steer arm assemblies.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, une fissure longitudinale dans le levier de commande de la fusée peut traverser un orifice conique usiné dans le levier pour servir au montage du pivot sphérique de la barre d'accouplement. Si la fissure devait se propager, le pivot sphérique pourrait prendre du jeu, entraînant une perte de contrôle de la direction. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le joint articulé et le levier de commande de la direction.
