Notes

POSSIBILITY THAT STEERING TIE ROD MAY CONTAIN A METALLURGICAL DEFECT AND BREAK AT EITHER THREADED END.A BROKEN TIE ROD COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF ONE FRONT WHEEL, ERRATIC STEERING, AND SOME LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. (REPLACE TIE ROD.)

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.
