SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
A separated ball joint can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A separated ball joint can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
If hot exhaust gas contacts other components or materials, it can increase the risk of a fire.
If the fasteners come loose, the stay rod may disconnect from the rear axle, resulting in a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the sway bar detaches, additional vehicle sway may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the steering linkage separates, a loss of steering control would occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
The reduced air pressure levels may reduce braking performance and/or the parking brakes could reapply, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2015 SPARTAN MMs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
