Summary

Dorman Products is recalling 27,528 suspension ball joints with part numbers BJ50075 and 2601797. The ball stud on these components can separate from the lower control arm, which can lead to a sudden loss of steering control. Dorman will provide a free replacement ball joint nut to fix the issue; owners were notified via letters mailed in December 2023.

Risk

If the ball stud separates from the control arm, the driver may lose the ability to steer the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a crash and serious injury.
