Jaguar S Type: Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint May Fail

Recalling firm
JAGUAR
Product
Vehicles: JAGUAR S TYPE. Units affected: 18,062
Reason
An under torque condition may exist in the front lower ball joint. This may result in a high bending fatigue loading of the joint which could result in a fracture of the first thread of the ball stud which then leads to separation of the lower control arm from the knuckle. This separated condition will limit steering control. Remedy: Recall affected vehicles and check ball joint security and condition. Replace vertical link if necessary.
