A ball joint which has separated from the knuckle, may result in a loss of vehicle directional control with minimal advanced warning.  Correction: Dealers will replace both front lower ball joints and install ball joint boot heat shields on all 2002 and early 2003 model year vehicles.  On later 2003 model year vehicles, the dealer will first inspect to determine if ball joint replacement is required.  Any ball joints that do not pass the inspection will be replaced.  All vehicles must have the ball joint boot heat shields installed.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"C36","part_number":null,"units":29011,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","french":{"component":"Suspension","notification":"Sécurité - TC","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, une diminution de la lubrification des joints à rotule des bras inférieurs de suspension avant pourrait causer de la corrosion, de l'usure accélérée et une séparation de la fusée de l'essieu. La séparation d'un joint à rotule du porte-fusée pourrait causer une perte de contrôle subite. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront replacer les deux joints à rotule inférieurs de la suspension avant et poser des écrans thermiques de soufflet de joint à rotule sur tous les véhicules 2002 et les véhicules de début d'année modèle 2003.  Sur les véhicules 2003 plus récents, il faut d'abord inspecter les joints à rotule pour déterminer si un remplacement est requis.  Tous les joints qui sont jugés défectueux lors de l'inspection doivent être remplacés.
