ON SOME 2008-2009 MODEL YEAR PONTIAC G8 VEHICLES, THE BOOTS ON THE FRONT-LOWER-CONTROL-ARMS CAN BECOME RIGID IN COLD WEATHER, WHICH CAN ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE JOINT AND CORRODE THE SURFACE OF THE BALL JOINT.

DEALERS ARE TO INSPECT THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINTS FOR FREE-PLAY AND REPLACE THE CONTROL ARMS AS REQUIRED.
