Recall 2004046

The issue

On certain vehicles, the steering arm could have a longitudinal crack. The crack may intersect the tapered mounting hole where the steering arm ball socket is mounted. If the crack should propagate, the ball stud could become loose causing a loss of steering control, which could result in a crash. Correction: Dealer will inspect the integral knuckle and steer arm and replace if necessary.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, il pourrait y avoir une fissure longitudinale sur le bras de direction. Cette fissure pourrait traverser le trou de montage fuselé à l'endroit où le logement de rotule du bras de direction est installé. Si la fissure se propageait, le pivot à rotule pourrait se desserrer, provoquer une perte de contrôle de la direction et causer un accident. Correction : Le concessionnaire devra inspecter le joint d'articulation et le bras de direction et les remplacer s'il y a lieu.
