SUSPENSION Safety Recalls

High Priority #09E056000 Plain English
Component

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT

Manufacturer
QUALIS AUTOMOTIVE LLC
What Happened
The lower ball joint is like a flexible connector that helps keep your vehicle stable while driving. Some aftermarket ball joints sold for your vehicle might have a faulty socket that can crack and cause the ball stud to separate.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ball stud separates, your control arm could collapse, and your wheel could fold in. This would make it hard to control your vehicle, and you might lose steering, which could cause a crash.
Free Fix
The manufacturer will replace the faulty ball joints with new ones at no cost to you. You should contact Qualis Automotive at 1-800-493-4128 to schedule the repair as soon as possible.
