DORE5C4S09

NHTSA communication ID: 10165333

NHTSA source summary · Original PDF not reviewed by Recallfolio

This SKU is a Front Upper Ball Joint. The customer communication requested return of unsold inventory to inspect for the outer diameter of the ball joint housing being too small. The outer diameter being too small would prevent the part from being installed, and would therefore have no impact on the end user besides time to complete installation.

Source components: SUSPENSION.
