## What is wrong

THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH THE LEFT\-HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM\-TO\-FRAME REAR NUT NOT TIGHTENED TO THE SPECIFIED TORQUE.


## What can happen

LOW TORQUE CAN ALLOW THE ATTACHMENT BOLT TO LOOSEN AND SUBSEQUENTLY FATIGUE AND BREAK. THIS CAN RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE LEFT\-HAND CONTROL ARM FROM THE FRAME INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL TIGHTEN THE LEFT\-HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM\-TO\- FRAME REAR NUT TO THE PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATION.
