Recall overview
The ball joint attachment part of the front wheel lower arm has not been sufficiently examined for its durability against the usage environment, so if it is frequently sprayed with snow melting agents in snowy areas, it may corrode and crack. Therefore, if the vehicle continues to be used as it is, the cracks will develop, and in the worst case scenario, the lower arm may break, the ball joint may fall off, and the vehicle may become unable to drive. As a result of the recall, the left and right lower arms of all vehicles will be replaced with countermeasure products.
