On certain C3500, G3 and P30 vehicles, the left hand lower control arm can crack starting at the rear flange and progress to the ball joint mounting hole and eventually cause the lower ball joint to separate from the control arm. This could result in loss of vehicle control and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will install a reinforcement brace to the left-hand lower control arm.
On certain G3 and P3 vehicles, the left-hand lower control arm can crack starting at the rear flange and progress to the ball joint mounting hole and eventually cause the end of the control arm to separate. This could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: A new left-hand lower control arm will be installed.
On certain vehicles, the push-pull headlight switch may have been manufactured with electrical contacts which allow an intermittent headlight circuit. An intermittent circuit could cause the headlights to suddenly go out. Under severe weather or nighttime driving conditions, driver visibility could be reduced, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
