ZF North America, Inc. (ZF) is recalling certain Lemförder 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.
Compare the exact product and every lot, model, serial range or date listed in the official notice. A similar name alone does not establish that your product is included.
