Description:
ZF North America, Inc. (ZF) is recalling certain Lemforder track control arms with part number 38526 01, and TRW track control arms with part number JTC 1619. The bush inner sleeve may be too short, which can cause excessive compression of the track control arm and crack the subframe during installation.
Consequences:
A cracked subframe may damage the front axle carrier and cause a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Actions:
ZF will work with dealers and distributors to inspect and if necessary, replace the bushing, subframe, and/or track control arm, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 16, 2025. Owners may contact ZF customer service at 1-734-416-6200.
