Lemforder / Trw recall: Suspension
What is wrong
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.
What could happen
A cracked subframe may damage the front axle carrier and cause a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
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 were mailed May 7, 2025. Owners may contact ZF customer service at 1-734-416-6200.
