The hazard

On certain vehicles, the front bottom suspension arm cam bolts may be out of specification. The bolts may be too hard due to incorrect heat treatment and may be prone to snap off along their shank. This failure could allow the lower control arm to move, which will influence the driver's steering control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the front suspension lower control arm cam bolts.
