In the affected vehicles, the left-side front suspension lower arm may have been incorrectly manufactured.  As a result, the left side lower arm may not have enough clamping surface area for one of the bolts that secures the lower arm to the lower ball joint.","consequence":"Because of the insufficient clamping force, the lower arm may separate from the ball joint, increasing the risk of a crash.","remedy":"Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left side lower arm, free of charge.
