Summary:
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing "Toyota" is recalling certain model year 2014 Toyota Camry, Camry HV, Avalon, and Avalon HV vehicles equipped with 16-inch and 17-inch rims. In the affected vehicles, the left-side front suspension lower arm may have been incorrectly manufactured. As a result, the left side lower arm may not have enough clamping surface area for one of the bolts that secures the lower arm to the lower ball joint. |
||
|
Consequence:
Because of the insufficient clamping force, the lower arm may separate from the ball joint, increasing the risk of a crash. |
||
|
Remedy:
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left side lower arm, free of charge. The recall began on December 12, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. |
