• SUSPENSION Recall for 2002 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER

  • Recall Announced APRIL 14 2008
  • NHTSA Reference #08E033000
  • Number Affected 6,903

  Summary: Federal mogul is recalling 6,903 aftermarket ball joint assemblies shipped between November 9, 2007 and March 26, 2008, which may have been packaged with incorrect nuts.
