Recall 99V215000: Cracked Lower Control Arm Brackets

The lower control arm attaching brackets can crack due to fatigue and separate from the engine cradle.

If this occurs, the transmission half-shaft could pull out of the transaxle and result in loss of power.

Dealers will reinforce the engine cradle at the point where the lower control arm attaches to it.
