For front suspension systems of certain 2WD vehicles, (1) the torque of the bolts securing the lower arms and the lower arm ball joints may not be sufficient, due to improper installation. If this problem is left unattended, the bolts may loosen, and in the worst case, they may break and cause the vehicle to stall. (2) for vehicles on which RJ-1821-0 measure was carried out, the the torque of the bolts securing the lower arms and the lower arm ball joints may not be sufficient, due to the improper replacement method done for RJ-1821-0. If this problem is left unattended, the bolts may loosen, and in the worst case, they may break and cause the vehicle to stall.
Case Number:

Make/model:
Issued:
Thu, 2009-03-05
From:
2004-11-01
To:
2008-12-01
Component:
shock absorbers (lower arms)
Affected:
12 233
Correction:
The torque of the bolts securing the lower arms and the lower arm ball joints should be checked. If there is a gap between the bolts and the lower arm, or the bolt is broken/missing, the lower arm assembly should be replaced with a new one. If there is no gap between the bolts and the lower arm, the bolts should be tightened to the correct torque.
