Description of the problem	I recently had struts replaced due to normal wear and was informed there was an issue with a fracture in the right front axle. I was further told it may be a recall. Well after research i was told it waa for 2014 but it is the exact same issue on my vehicle. I was advised to submit this for review to see if this recall of the 2014 front axle should be extended to more years as my issue is the exact same thing. It does make loud noise at mild turns. The mechanic stated it will only get worse as the fracture progresses. I have to get this fixed and can't wait to see what your decision if any is but maybe this will help others.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
