NHTSA Recall - Loss of Steering from Front Control Arm Separation (Impacting certain 2023 to 2024 builds)

[MotoGary]

Mine was built 12/2023, so it falls in the date range. I figured I better give my nuts a quick self-check, so I just reached in and felt both of my nuts and they're still firmly attached. It also appears that they haven't dropped yet (So in this case, that's good news too). Not sure if they're properly torqued, but I'll assume they're good for now. If I get the recall letter, I'll make an appointment with the specialist.

Did you cough while performing the check?

And turned your head. Don’t forget to turn your head.

It was more of a "Turn your steering wheel and honk" kinda thing.

"Based on a review of this data, CCRG was able to determine that certain vehicles built between November 6, 2023 and February 12, 2024, may have failed to achieve the required torque due to variation in the alignment or orientation between the DC nutrunner tool and the nut to secure the upper control arm to knuckle ball joint. CCRG was able to confirm that the suspect vehicle population, including the vehicle that experienced an accident, were built within this date range. "

Guess I should probably check mine since it was built in December 2023

Mine is also a December 2023 build. Guess I’d better have my nuts checked out.

Apparently the nut installer was singing "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't" perhaps?

I'm Oct 2023, built before the nuts fell.

We are left hanging: Were the nuts bad, not torqued enough, or just overlooked?

Ugh that reminds me of my pre-induction physical back in 1970, groan...
