On certain vehicles, for the front shock absorbers, there may be cracks in the ball joint sockets of the lower arms due to the installation of the defective lower arms. In such a case, the inner wheels' driving over a curb when cornering on the circuit etc., sudden steering or sudden braking can cause the ball stud to separate from the ball joint socket, which results in the vehicle to stall. This recall is to include more vehicles in the past recall; RJ-1042-2 submitted on 26th February 2004.
