A worn upper ball joint could separate, causing a loss of vehicle control which may result in a crash.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the upper ball joints with a revised assembly having improved sealing integrity. Two wheel drive models will be covered by an extended warranty of 10 years or 160,000 kms.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"D47","part_number":null,"units":57649,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Suspension","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules à quatre roues motrices, si de l'humidité pénètre dans le joint à rotule supérieur de la suspension avant, la perte du lubrifiant et la corrosion du joint pourraient provoquer l'usure progressive du joint sur une longue période de temps. En cas d'usure, le joint à rotule supérieur pourrait se détacher, ce qui provoquerait une perte de contrôle du véhicule et pourrait causer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les joints à rotule supérieurs par des joints à rotule plus étanches.
