Smikster 10 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 1,919 2014-2015 Chevrolet Sparks imported from Korea that were assembled with a lower control arm bolt not fastened to specification. The condition could result in noise from the front suspension and separation of the lower control arm from the steering knuckle while driving resulting in loss of steering control. Dealers will inspect the left and right hand lower control arm attaching bolts to assure they are tightened to specification. GM knows of no crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition.

Angrybird12 61 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Since it's 14 and 15's and only 1,919 of them it must be the last of the 14's and first of the 15's that are being recalled. Since mine was built early in the 14 model year I bet it is not included. Link to post Share on other sites

Angrybird12 61 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Here is the press release. "1,919 model year 2014 Chevrolet Spark models for left and right lower control arm attaching bolts that may not be tightened to specification. GM has informed owners to have their vehicles transported to Chevrolet dealerships, where they will be inspect the attaching bolts to be sure they are tightened to specification.
