What was wrong

Defect

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE REQUIRED TORQUE TO TIGHTEN THE UPPER BALL JOINT INTO THE UPPER CONTROL ARM CANNOT BE REACHED, BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE SIZE OF THE BALL CASE THREAD OF THE UPPER BALL JOINTS. THE THREAD MAY BE TOO SMALL.

Manufacturer remedy

THE VEHICLE WILL BE INSPECTED TO SEE IF IT CONTAINS THE DEFECTIVE UPPER BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY. ALL DEFECTIVE UPPER BALL JOINT ASSEMBLIES SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE MANUFACTURER TO BE REPLACED WITH A DEFECT-FREE UPPER BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY AT NO COST TO OWNER.
