What is being recalled

THE ECCENTRIC CAM ADJUSTER BOLTS IN BOTH FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM-TO-FRONT AXLE BRACKET ATTACHMENTS MAY FAIL DUE TO ASSEMBLY MISALIGNMENT.

Why it is dangerous

CAM BOLT FAILURES CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO ONESIDE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLECONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION CAM BOLTS, CAM WASHERS, AND NUTS WITH COMPONENTS OF A DIFFERENT DESIGN.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 93V-051 when calling a dealer.
