Reported risk: NOTE: POLICE PACKAGE VEHICLES ONLY.
THE BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARMS TO THE FRAME MOUNTING BRACKETS MAY LOOSEN WHEN SUBJECTED TO EXTREME OPERATING CONDITIONS. THIS COULD CAUSE THE BRACKET TO FRACTURE AT ONE OF THE BOLT HOLES, RESULTING IN A SUBSTANTIAL NEGATIVE CAMBER TO THE ASSOCIATED FRONT WHEEL AND A STEERING "PULL" TO THE COURSE OF VEHICLE TRAVEL. IF A VEHICLE WITH A LOOSE BRACKET ON THE LEFT SIDE WERE OPERATED UNTIL THE BRACKET FRACTURED AT BOTH BOLT HOLES, THE STEERING CONTROL ARM COULD CONTACT THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
CORRECTION: TORQUE LEVELS OF THE FOUR UPPER CONTROL ARM BOLTS WILL BE CHECKED. IF ANY OF THE BOLTS ARE LOOSE, THE BRACKET(S) WILL BE INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE. IF DAMAGE IS PRESENT IT WILL BE REPAIRED.
