Corrosion may proceed to the point where the lower plate becomes perforated and the front lower control arm fractures between its forward and rearward pivot attachments to the chassis.  If the front lower control arm fractures, the wheel assembly may be allowed to move rearward in the wheel well opening during braking.  Reduced control of the front wheel location may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.  Correction:  Dealer will replace the front lower control arm.","mfr_campaign":"R36","units":24211,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","match":"exact","models":["ACCENT"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2003140"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"02V341000","date":"2002-12-20","manufacturer":"HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY","component":"SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM","summary":"ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
