When I turn a corner and correct it, i hear a snap like sound. Could this possibly be a bad ball joint. How do recalls work; the recall below looks similar to the problem I'm having. Is it too late for the recall or how do they work. Any help would be appreciated component: SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT Recall Date (Y/M):2000/12 Defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. IF THE RUBBER BOOTS ON THE LOWER LATERAL ARM BALL JOINTS OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION WERE DAMAGED DURING ASSEMBLY, DIRT AND WATER CAN INTRUDE. ALSO, MMC HAS ADDED THE POTENTIAL OF LEAKING MOISTURE, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE BALL STUD TO CORRODE.

I don't believe they fix this for free; i think there is an end period when they stop doing recalls for free. They might inspect it for free but idk?

That could be your problem, and No they don't charge you and they have no limit on time....as long as its an open recall.....they'll do it for free
