If the control arm connecting shafts crack, affecting vehicle handling, it can increase the risk of a crash.
A cracked lower control arm may affect vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
In the event of a crash, the incorrect bolts may not keep the seat belts properly anchored to the car, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupants.

Two 2015 PORSCHE 918 SPYDERs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
