This could result in loosening of the attaching nuts and, ultimately result in a fracture of the ball joint stud.  This could adversely affect vehicle control and a crash could occur.  Should the left side ball joint fracture, the wheel and tire could contact the fuel lines or the fuel filter potentially resulting in fuel leakage.  Correction:  Ball joint torque will be inspected and vehicles with loose ball joints will either have the fasteners tightened to specification or if necessary, the ball joints will be replaced.","mfr_campaign":"00S39","units":3947,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["LS"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2000273"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"00V359001","date":"2000-11-03","manufacturer":"FORD MOTOR COMPANY","component":"SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT","summary":"VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  PASSENGER VEHICLES.
