Note: Korean manufactured aftermarket front lower ball joints made for 1986-90 Acura Legend (part # k9441) and 1986-89 Accord, 1983-91 Prelude, 1988-91 Civic/Crx, 1990-93 Integra (part # k9385). A design problem with these components has been the subject of field incidents involving premature wear and separation from the vehicle. This could result in loss of steering control and a possible crash. Correction: Defective ball joints will be replaced.
