Mazda USA to recall 27 800 RX8s

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/recal...mazda_rx8.html

Mazda is recalling 27,800 RX8 sports cars because of a problem with the front suspension that could lead to a loss of steering resulting in a crash.

Due to improper forging of the lower control arm, cracks may occur in the ball joint socket.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the ball may separate from the ball joint socket causing the loss of steering and potential crash.

I know it is. That's not the point. I was just wondering what the original poster's intentions were.

Anarchy? Not me. Laziness and the inability to use the search feature more likely.
