This is due to a limited GPS receiver Capacity resulting in rollover of the internal chip memory; the rollover occurred on January 1, 2022, at 12:00AM local time.

This issue is due to a limited GPS receiver capacity resulting in "rollover" of the internal chip memory; the "rollover" will occur on January 1, 2022, at 12:00AM local time. As a result, once specific triggers are met, the navigation date and time will be incorrect.

The customer communication requested return of unsold inventory to inspect for the outer diameter of the ball joint housing being too small. The outer diameter being too small would prevent the part from being installed, and would therefore have no impact on the end user besides time to complete installation.

THE NOISE GOES AWAY TEMPORARILY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LIFTED IN THE AIR (THE SUSPENSION IS ALLOWED TO HANG) AND THEN RETURNED TO THE GROUND. REPLACE BOTH OF THE FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS WITH UPDATED SERVICE PARTS MADE TO ADDRESS THIS SPECIFIC SYMPTOM.
