According to details shared with SIAM, the company mentioned that the ‘track control arm’ might have some irregularity in the production process on the component supplier’s side. This irregularity could impact the safety of both the vehicle and the people inside. If the component fails while you are driving, it could result in a sudden loss of control, affecting the stability of the vehicle. This instability could lead to an accident, causing harm to others and potentially injuring the occupants of the vehicle.
Put, a ‘track control arm’ is an important part of a vehicle’s suspension system. It links the wheel and suspension assembly to the chassis. This part is crucial for keeping the wheels in check and ensuring that the wheel stays in contact with the road properly to maintain stability.
