## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front left lower control arm pivot bolt may not have been properly hardened during the manufacturing process. This could cause the front left lower control arm pivot bolt to break, which could affect vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front left lower control arm and replace it as necessary.
