2006 Toyota Sequoia 4WD V8-4.7L (2UZ-FE)SECTION Recall 07V013000: Front Lower Ball Joint Replacement
MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
Toyota/Sequoia 2004-2007
Toyota/Tundra 2004-2006
MANUFACTURER: Toyota Motor Corporation
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V013000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: January 18, 2007
COMPONENT: Suspension: Front: Control Arm: Lower Ball Joint
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 533124
SUMMARY:
On certain trucks and mini vans, due to possible improper finishing of the front suspension lower ball joint, some ball joints may experience an incidental deterioration of the internal lubrication. This may cause the ball joint to wear and loosen prematurely, which could result in increased steering effort, reduced vehicle self-centering, and noise in the front suspension.
CONSEQUENCE:
In extreme cases, if the vehicle is continuously operated in this condition, the lower ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause a loss of vehicle control.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the front suspension lower ball joints. The recall is expected to begin during mid-February 2007. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
NOTES:
Toyota recall No. 70B. Customers may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
