On certain sport utility vehicles, the lower control arm ball joints can experience a loss of lubrication that can lead to corrosion, accelerated wear, and possible separation from the steering knuckle. A ball joint that has separated from the knuckle could result in loss of vehicle directional control and could result in a crash.
- Recall consequence
- Recall action
- Dealers will replace the front lower control arm ball joints with modified assemblies and heat shields on vehicles built between January 2, 2001 and October 4, 2002.
