What NHTSA recorded

The drag link, a steering linkage that transmits turning movements to both front wheels, may fail at its connection to the axle steering arm. The ball stud may have been installed on the drag link incorrectly, subjecting the ball stud shank to abnormal stresses.

Remedy

The dealer will inspect and replace the ball studs, if necessary, at no cost to owner.
