Steering

On certain vehicles, bolts securing the front lower control arm ball joint to the steering knuckle may not have been tightened to specification and could loosen. This could result in the lower control arm separating from the steering knuckle while driving, resulting in a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect bolts and tighten to specification as necessary.

Airbag

On certain vehicles, welds on the passenger airbag end caps could separate from the airbag inflator. If this occurs, the airbag may not deploy properly. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the passenger airbag assembly.
