Beck Arnley Lower Control Arm Assembly: Suspension recall
NHTSA campaign 26E028000 · 6,668 units potentially affected · filed May 11, 2026
What's wrong
Federal-Mogul Motorparts LLC (DRiV) is recalling certain Beck/Arnley replacement lower control arm and ball joint assemblies for 2018-2025 Subaru Forester and Crosstrek vehicles. The lower ball joint nut may be loose or may not have been tightened properly.
Why it matters
A loose nut may allow the ball joint to separate from the control arm, causing a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the lower control arm and ball joint assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 10, 2026. Owners may contact DRiV customer service at 1-877-489-6659.
