Although a loosening ball joint will emit some noise, in the worst case the ball joint may separate without prior warning.  A separated ball joint can result in an apparent sudden loss of power, reduced steering control and a possible crash.  Correction:  The front suspension lower ball joints will be replaced.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":null,"part_number":null,"units":10190,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Suspension","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, les joints à rotule inférieurs de la suspension avant peuvent s’user prématurément parce que la finition de la surface de la partie sphérique du joint, entre le bras oscillant inférieur avant et la fusée, est inadéquate. Même si un joint à rotule qui prend du jeu devient d’abord bruyant, il se peut que, dans la pire éventualité, le joint à rotule se détache de façon imprévisible. Un joint à rotule qui se détache peut se traduire par une apparente perte de puissance subite, une réduction du contrôle de la direction et donc une augmentation des risques d’accident. Correction : Le joint à rotule inférieur de la suspension avant devra être remplacé."},"vehicles":[{"year":1996,"make":"ACURA","model":"RL","vehicle_id":"1996_acura_rl","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1997,"make":"ACURA","model":"RL","vehicle_id":"1997_acura_rl","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1998,"make":"ACURA","model":"RL","vehicle_id":"1998_acura_rl","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1996,"make":"ACURA","model":"TL","vehicle_id":"1996_acura_tl","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1997,"make":"ACURA","model":"TL","vehicle_id":"1997_acura_tl","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1998,"make":"ACURA","model":"TL","vehicle_id":"1998_acura_tl","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1998,"make":"HONDA","model":"ACCORD","vehicle_id":"1998_honda_accord","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1998,"make":"HONDA","model":"ODYSSEY","vehicle_id":"1998_honda_odyssey","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1996,"make":"HONDA","model":"PRELUDE","vehicle_id":"1996_honda_prelude","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1997,"make":"HONDA","model":"PRELUDE","vehicle_id":"1997_honda_prelude","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1998,"make":"HONDA","model":"PRELUDE","vehicle_id":"1998_honda_prelude","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/1999101"}
