Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

During extreme braking application the front axle rolls forward, pushing the steering arm forward, and non-uniform braking effort, caused by various brake component conditions, results in the vehicle pulling to the right.

Possible consequence

Unexpected pull to the right during brake applicationcould result in loss of steering control and an accident.

Remedy

Axle roll will be corrected by stiffening the upper torque arm to reduce the allowance for axle roll and relocating the upper torque arm to eliminate the interference with the steering arm. The non-uniform braking effort will be corrected by repairing the brakes in accordance with rockwell brake standards.
