Recall 2005221

The issue

On certain vehicles, improper forging of the front lower control arms may allow cracks in the ball joint socket to form. As a result, the ball stud may separate from the control arm, which could cause a loss of vehicle control and a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace both front lower control arms.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, un forgeage inadéquat des bras de suspension inférieurs avant pourrait permettre à des fissures de se former dans l'emboîtement de rotule d'articulation. En conséquence, le pivot à rotule pourrait se détacher du bras de suspension, ce qui pourrait provoquer une perte de contrôle du véhicule et un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, s'il y a lieu, remplacer les deux bras de suspension inférieurs avant.
