GOT A RECALL ALERT IN THE MAIL IN OCT 2016 BUT STATES THEY WILL REACH OUT WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT'S ALMOST MARCH 2017 AND THEY ARE STILL SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THE DESCRIPTION IN THE RECALL REFERENCES SALT IN THE WINTER ULTIMATELY CORRODING THE BALL JOINT. SOUNDS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO ME.
