Reported risk: NOTE: AFTERMARKET BALL JOINT ASSEMBLIES FOR 1990-93 HONDA ACCORD VEHICLES. BALL JOINT ASSEMBLIES SOLD AFTER SEPTEMBER 11, 1996 AND PACKAGED IN BOXES LABELLED "MADE IN KOREA" HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED TO HAVE A DESIGN PROBLEM WHICH COULD RESULT IN PREMATURE WEAR IN THE HOUSING SOCKET. IF THIS WEAR GOES UNDETECTED, THE STUD CAN SEPARATE FROM THE HOUSING. THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: BALL JOINT ASSEMBLIES THAT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON VEHICLES WILL BE REPLACED AND UNSOLD STOCK WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE SYSTEM.
