As I was driving down a city street, the right rear suspension control arm came loose from the frame. The right wheel tire subsequently became lodged against the rear of the wheel well at an angle. I was able to maneuver the car to the side of the road. Police arrived to block off the nearest lane so I could safely be towed from the scene, as the car was undrivable. I am fortunate that this did not happen at high speed, as I do not believe I would have safely been able to maintain control of the vehicle. The control arm came loose due to excessive rust on the frame. The area around the mounting location for the arm is torn away from the frame, the nuts and bolts are still attached to the fragments of frame they were originally mounted to. This model year crv is under recall for excessive corrosion in canadian provinces where road salt is extensively used in winter. This model was purchased in minnesota, where road salt is extensively used in winter.
