The front steering knuckle or rear axle housing may have insufficient strength due to improper heat-treatment.
The steering knuckle or rear axle could deform upon impact, such as from hitting a curb, resulting in a loss of steering control, or possible wheel separation. Both of these conditions can increase the risk of a crash.
What to do
Dealers will inspect and replace the front steering knuckle and rear axle housing -- as necessary -- free of charge.
