C220

  • 218,000 miles
Fracture of front suspension lower control arm. Design defect resulting in latent interior corrosion that ultimately resulted in this critical part separating into two pieces, causing the wheel to partially separate from the car. Had this occurred at highway speed it would doubtless have caused a severe loss of control and steering. It may well have resulted in fatalities.
