- [DORE5C4S09](/bulletins/10165333.md), 2019-09-23, Service bulletin: SUSPENSION. This SKU is a Front Upper Ball Joint. The customer communication requested return of unsold inventory to inspect for the outer diameter of the ball joint housing being too small. The outer diameter being too small would prevent the part from being installed, and would therefore have no impact on the end user besides time to complete installation.
