Front suspension ball joint fitting. Water may enter the front suspension ball joint fitting. Driving on roadways during the winter months in areas that use roadway salts can lead to salt and water intrusion into the ball joint causing corrosion. As a result the ball joint loosens and a rattle may occur. Extended operation in this condition will deteriorate the ball joint and the lower control arm could separate. Significant loss of steering control may increase the chance of a fatal crash. At this time we are experiencing a small rattle in the front.

Front suspension ball joint fitting: upon either receiving or learning of the safety recall notice last year, my wife and I contacted our local mazda dealer, ferman mazda of brandon 9809 e adamo drive tampa, fl 33619, last year. She was told that parts were not currently available for our vehicle and that they started repairs in the northeast, before winter arrived, and we would be contacted summer (2018). The summer has come and is on its way out and we still have not been contacted. My wife called our mazda dealership on monday 18 september 2018, she was told she needed to bring in the notice, assuming from mazda, regarding the recall notice. My question is: do one need the actual notice or can one use the federal safety agency recall notice to carry out the recall.
