The torque rod may be incompatible and cause damage to the vehicle wiring harness and certain safety-related circuits, such as anti-lock or service brakes, stability control, exterior lighting equipment, power steering, or engine and transmission control modules.
Why it matters
Interference with safety-related circuits may cause various safety systems to fail, resulting in a loss of engine power or vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
