What This Recall Means

Component

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT

What Happened

Risk if Unfixed

If you drive your truck with this issue, the contamination can cause corrosion, wear out the joint faster, and it might even break completely. If that happens, you could lose control of your vehicle's steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
