The highest load on the transverse control arm occurs during full application of the brake, briefly before the vehicle comes to a full stop. Extreme high loading of the transverse control arm, can lead to fracture of the front axle transverse control arm, which could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
