If a large load is applied to the suspension while driving, the ball joint may suddenly separate from the socket, which could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the lower control arms with modified parts.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"1117E","part_number":null,"units":3004,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Suspension","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Dans certains véhicules, la zone de la douille à joint à rotule sur le bras inférieur de suspension avant pourrait se fissurer en raison d'un processus de fabrication inadéquat du joint à rotule. Si une grosse charge est appliquée sur la suspension pendant que le véhicule est en mouvement, le joint à rotule pourrait se séparer soudainement de la douille, ce qui pourrait causer une perte de contrôle de la direction et, par conséquent, augmenterait les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux).
