Defect	Due to a production error, the connector inner sleeve of the recalled control arms, when fitted, may leave a gap which could permit further compression of the component during tightening. This can lead to stress in the subframe and cause cracking. A crack or microcrack in the subframe can result in damage to the front axle beam, which can impair driving and increase the risk of an accident and injury.
Remedy	Recall of the product from end users.
