What is wrong
ZF North America, Inc. (ZF) is recalling certain Lemförder track control arms with part number 38526 01, and TRW track control arms with part number JTC 1619. The bush inner sleeve may be too short, which can cause excessive compression of the track control arm and crack the subframe during installation.
What can happen
A cracked subframe may damage the front axle carrier and cause a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
ZF will work with dealers and distributors to inspect and if necessary, replace the bushing, subframe, and/or track control arm, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 7, 2025. Owners may contact ZF customer service at 1-734-416-6200.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
