What is wrong
BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT STEERING ARM ARE ATTACHED TO THE FRONT AXLE KNUCKLE WITH TWO FASTENING BOLTS. THESE BOLTS ARE BEVELED BELOW THE HEX HEAD TO FIT INTO THE CHAMFERED HOLES IN THE STEERING ARM FOR PROPER FASTENING. THE CHAMFERING IN THESE STEERING ARM HOLES WAS OMITTED DURING MANUFACTURE. SHOULD THE BOLTS LOOSEN, THE STEERING ARM COULD BECOME LOOSE.

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.
