The fastener connecting the front upper control arm and steering knuckle may not have been “sufficiently torqued,” according to a notification issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This might result in separation, resulting in “a loss of vehicle control and an increase in the danger of an accident.” According to the safety assessment, drivers in impacted cars may experience excessive noise, vibration, and harshness from the front suspension, as well as a change in steering performance or feel.
