What is wrong
A KEYWAY, WHICH IS USED ON THE STEERING ARMS TO ASSURE THAT THEY ARE PROPERLY INDEXED, MAY HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED OUT OF CORRECT ALIGNMENT. THIS CAUSES THE DRAG LINK BALL STUD WORKING ANGLE TO BE EXCEEDED AND COULD LEAD TO EARLY FAILURE OF THE BALL STUD.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE VEHICLE WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, THE STEERING ARM WILL BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.

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.
