Chevrolet joint in one or both of the front lower-control arms may have been improperly welded.
The short version
General Motors LLC reported a problem with the control arm lower ball joint. Here is what owners need to know.
A joint in one or both of the front lower-control arms may have been improperly welded. An improperly welded joint may break, resulting in the partial separation of the lower-control arm from the vehicle.
A partial separation of the lower-control arm from the vehicle could cause the attached front wheel to toe outward, impacting the vehicle's handling and steering and increasing the risk of crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the left and right front lower-control arms, replacing them as necessary, free of charge.
