Service bulletin SSM 51916
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

To correct this condition, replace the steering knuckles (service part numbers NL1Z-3K185-D/NL1Z-3K186-D). Refer Workshop Manual, Section 204-01. For claiming, use casual part 3K185 and the applicable labor operations of Section 03 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
