The short answer

NHTSA received ZF North America, Inc.’s report on Mar 19, 2025. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 27, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

A cracked subframe may damage the front axle carrier and cause a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.

ZF North America, Inc.

(ZF) is recalling certain Lemförder track control arms with part number 38526 01, and TRW track control arms with part number JTC 1619.

The bush inner sleeve may be too short, which can cause excessive compression of the track control arm and crack the subframe during installation.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
