On certain vehicles, the connections between the upper control arms and the axle stubs may not have been tightened properly during assembly. This could affect steering and directional control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will check the bolt torque connections between the upper control arms and axle stubs and replace the upper control arms if necessary.
