Recall 2004017

The issue

On certain vehicles, the front lower control arms may not have been manufactured within the agreed specifications and as a result the stud and nut that secure the control arm to the spindle may lose its initial axial tension. In the worst case, this condition could eventually lead to separation between the front control arm and the spindle possibly causing a loss of control and a crash. Correction: Dealer will install a new type of nut with increased assembly torque.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les bras de suspension inférieurs avant pourraient ne pas respecter les exigences et, en conséquence, l'axe et l'écrou qui attachent le bras de suspension à la fusée pourraient perdre leur tension axiale initiale. Dans le pire des cas, ce problème pourrait mener à la séparation du bras de suspension avant et de la fusée, ce qui pourrait causer une perte de contrôle et un accident. Correction : Le concessionnaire devra installer un nouveau type d'écrou avec un couple d'assemblage supérieur.
