IN CERTAIN HIGH SALT AREAS, THE IDLER ARM IS EXPOSED TO ROAD SALT WHICH CAUSES THE DUST SEAL TO DETERIORATE RESULTING IN IDLER ARM PIN CORROSION. THIS CAUSES THE PIN TO FREEZE AND BREAK. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: A BROKEN IDLER ARM PIN COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
Manufacturer remedy

ANCHORAGE BOLT MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY REINSTALLED AFTER VEHICLE REPAIR. THE BOLT COULD LOOSEN DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION.

UPON INSPECTION, ALL IMPROPERLY INSTALLED BOLTS WILL BE REMOVED AND REINSTALLED CORRECTLY.
