Steering#2025339June 19, 2025
5,321 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the fasteners that connect the ball joints to the front control arms may be missing or may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the ball joints could separate from the control arms. If this happens, there could be a loss of control. Safety Risk: A loss of control could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: GEM will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, as necessary, tighten the fasteners or replace the ball joints.
