What This Recall Means

Component

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM

What Happened

The front suspension control arm in your Jeep Liberty is a critical part that helps steer your vehicle. Over time, the ball joint in this part can lose its lubrication and start to corrode, leading to wear and tear.

Risk if Unfixed

If the ball joint fails, you could lose control of your steering, which increases the risk of a crash, especially in hazardous conditions like driving in the snow or on rough roads.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Jeep dealer will replace the entire front upper control arm assembly with a new one, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice, which is expected to start on or about April 24, 2010.
