The Problem: The lower mounting nuts and bolts that attach the front strut assembly to the steering knuckle may loosen, allowing it to separate. If the steering knuckle separates from the strut assembly, it can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect the lower mounting nuts and bolts that secure the front strut assembly to the steering knuckle. If the bolts are loose they will be replaced and tightened for free.
What Owners Should Do: The recall is expected to begin on May 20. Owners can call the automaker at 800-222-5500, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.
