THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE NUT THAT HOLDS THE BALL JOINT HAD COME OFF AND THAT THE BALL JOINTS ON BOTH SIDES WERE WORN OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS AN NHTSA RECALL, # 00V359002, REGARDING THE SUSPENSION: FRONT: CONTROL ARM: LOWER BALL JOINT. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER WHEN I CONTACTED A JAGUAR DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. *JB

IN 2001, THE YEAR I BOUGHT THE CAR I HAD A CRASH WHERE I LOST THE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I JUST READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OF SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT WHICH CAN CAUSE THE CRASH. I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS CAUSED MY CRASH AND DUE THIS I WAS UNDER ENORMOUS TENSION FOR 6 - 8 MONTHS. MY CAR WAS IN BODY SHOP FOR 6 MONTHS WHICH CAUSED ME LOT OF PROBLEMS IN MY DAY TO DAY LIFE. *JB
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE NOT TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS WHEN THEY WERE ATTACHED TO THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE BALL JOINT ATTACHING NUTS ARE NOT ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED, THEY CAN LOOSEN AND ULTIMATELY, RESULT IN FRACTURE OF THE BALL JOINT STUD. IF THE BALL JOINT FRACTURES, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE AFFECTED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TORQUE ON THE TWO BALL JOINT ATTACHING NUTS. VEHICLES WITH LOOSE BALL JOINT ATTACHING NUTS WILL EITHER HAVE THE FASTENERS TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATION, OR IF NECESSARY, THE BALL JOINTS WILL BE REPLACED.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND CHANGE, IF NECESSARY, THE SEAT BELT BUCKLES.
