SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
- The defect
- Fox Factory, Inc. (Fox Factory) is recalling certain 2019-2021 GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles that are equipped with Tuscany Kits, model number 501T-02-00064. Excessive wear to the front-upper control arm ball joints could result in ball joint failure and wheel separation.
- What it can cause
- Separation of a front wheel while the vehicle is in motion increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the original equipment front-upper control arms with new upgraded front-upper control arms, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 8, 2021. Owners may contact Fox Factory at 1-831-274-6500.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 2,646 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 69% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Fox Factory, Inc. with NHTSA on September 10, 2021 as campaign 21V718000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
