Recall Type: Equipment

Defect Summary: Equipment description: front ball joint assemblies. the defective parts have a zinc phosphate coating missing on the stud. this coating is used to provide corrosion resistance and galvavized protection between the stud and mating aluminum steering knuckle. moog part number k6345 and are marked with date codes of 1049291 through 1040006.

Consequence Summary: Without the zinc phosphate coating, the stud may have a tendency to corrode and degrade over a long period of time. in extreme cases, the corrosion could contribute to loosening between the stud taper and steering knuckle taper or be exposed to some degree of hydrogen embrittlement. either of which may lead to stud failure and subsequent loss of vehicle control.

Corrective Action: Federal-mogul will send replacement parts at no charge to the part owner or installing facilities. where applicable, federal mogul will replace defective assemblies with either oem parts or replacements, which have a coated stud in the assembly.
