What NHTSA recorded

Looseness may develop at the attachment (ball joint) of the drag link to the steering arm due to an insufficiently tightened retaining nut. This can wear the steering arm hole. Consequence of defect: steering looseness could cause handling difficulty which may result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Remedy

Replace drag link ball stud if wear is observed and/or torque to specification.
