What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

The risk

A loss of steering control from the tie rod connection breaking from the front axle spindle can increase the risk of a crash.

JH Global has notified owners, and dealers will replace the front axle spindle, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2017. Owners may contact JH Global customer service at 1-888-878-9988. JH Global's number for this recall is IRN 171101.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
