What NHTSA recorded
The nuts fastening the stabilizer bar and the lower ball joints to the lower link may become loose, possibly resulting in detachment of the stabilizer bar or lower ball joints.
Remedy
Stabilizer bar nuts will be replaced with locking nuts, supporting brackets will be strengthened, and the ball joint nuts will be secured by installing a pin through the ball joint shaft. This service is provided at no charge.
