What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: quad cab pickup trucks. The upper control arms attached with cadmium coated nuts can cause the bolts to stretch due to the application of a higher than specified clamp load. Breakage of the upper control arm fasteners could cause the axle to rotate forward under braking conditions.

Possible consequence

This rotation could twist the steering linkage and possibly separate the brake lines, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the upper control arm bolts and nuts.
