## What is wrong

IN CERTAIN HIGH SALT AREAS, THE IDLER ARM IS EXPOSED TO   ROAD SALT WHICH CAUSES THE DUST SEAL TO DETERIORATE RESULTING IN IDLER ARM PIN   CORROSION. THIS CAUSES THE PIN TO FREEZE AND BREAK.                                                                                                               CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: A BROKEN IDLER ARM PIN COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING   CONTROL AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

REPLACE PIN WITH ONE OF IMPROVED CORROSION RESISTANT QUALITY.


## Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS WITH REAR WHEEL DRIVE.SYSTEM: STEERING.
