Ultimately steering control may be lost.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the steering gear inspected. The steering gear will be replaced should this be found to be necessary.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL
R/2007/062, launched 22 March 2007, 945 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: It has been identified that the front suspension lower ball joints on some of the subject vehicles have not been fully seated into the hub.
