## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front lower control arms could corrode due to exposure to humid environments and road de\-icing chemicals.  Over time, corrosion could progress causing thinning and perforation of the steel, which could allow the control arm to fracture near the forward pivot attachment to the chassis.  Lower control arm failure could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect the front lower control arms and, depending on the degree of corrosion exhibited, will either rustproof or replace them.
