## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the tie rod ends and/or drag link assembly ends may have insufficient hardness in the ball stud.  this could result in premature wear and, potentially, separation of the ball stud from its socket. If this occurs, there could be a reduction in or loss of steering control which in turn could result in a vehicle crash.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the affected tie rod ends and/or drag link assemblies.
