When I went in for a recall on 08/03/2018 for my vehicles lower control arms I was informed that my upper and lower passenger ball joints were very loose and corroded. My lower ball joints have apparently been replaced before in a recall in 2006. When I left the dealership my vehicle seemed fine until I took a right turn and heard loose parts bumping around on the right hand side. I have gotten another mechanics opinion on this and the upper and lower ball joints are loose/ broken even after this recall was performed to my vehicle.

This recall now concerns certain my 2004-2007 Jeep Liberty vehicles. The total number vehicles being recalled is now 346,900. These vehicles were manufactured from July 3, 2003 through June 29, 2007. The recall addresses those vehicles originally sold, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia. Some vehicles may be equipped with rear lower control arms that can experience a rear suspension lower control arm fracture due to excessive corrosion due to application of road salts during winter weather conditions. Consequence: A fracture of the rear lower control arm may result in a loss of vehicle control and may lead to a vehicle crash. Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear lower control arms on all affected vehicles originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, mass, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia, free of charge.
