## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  PASSENGER VEHICLES.  CERTAIN VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH BALL JOINTS THAT CAN PREMATURELY WEAR OUT AND, IN THE WORSE CASE, THE BALL JOINT WOULD SEPARATE CAUSING THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO COLLAPSE.


## What can happen

THIS CONDITION WOULD RESULT IN VEHICLE DECELERATION AND A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER.  ALSO STEERING CONTROLLABILITY WOULD BE REDUCED.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINTS.
