VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED FOR POLICE DUTY.

SYSTEM: REAR SUSPENSION; LOWER CONTROL ARMS.
CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: FRACTURE CAN OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, PARTICULARLY IN HIGH SPEED PURSUIT DRIVING, FRACTURE OF A CONTROL ARM MAY CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
