If the vehicle is operated for an extended period of time in this condition, the ball joint may eventually experience excessive wear and looseness, resulting in increased steering effort, reduced vehicle self-centering and noise in the front suspension.  In extreme cases, when the driver continues to operate the vehicle in this condition, the lower ball joint may separate from the knuckle causing a loss of vehicle steering control.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front lower ball joints.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"511","part_number":null,"units":14341,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Suspension","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, un problème de fabrication concernant la rotule d'articulation inférieure avant pourrait provoquer une usure prématurée. Si l'on utilise le véhicule pendant longtemps sans régler le problème, la rotule d'articulation pourrait s'user et se desserrer à l'excès, ce qui augmenterait l'effort nécessaire pour diriger le véhicule, diminuerait la capacité du véhicule à se centrer de lui même et produirait du bruit au niveau de la suspension avant. Dans les cas extrêmes, si le conducteur continue à utiliser le véhicule dans cet état, la rotule d'articulation inférieure pourrait se détacher du joint d'articulation, ce qui provoquerait une perte de contrôle de la direction du véhicule.
