EVENT_SUMMARY
There's a problem with a part called the lower ball joint in your vehicle's suspension system. It has a protective boot that can get damaged, letting dirt and water in and causing it to wear out too quickly.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If the lower ball joint wears out too quickly, it could cause your vehicle to lose control while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. The steering knuckle could even separate from the control arm, making it harder to steer and brake safely.
