ALSO DROPPED CONTROL ARM THROUGH THE RIM AND TIRE. THUS DAMAGING CV AXLE AND FENDER. AFTER THIS L CHECKED IN TO THIS AND SEEN THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR VEHICLE. AFTER CHECKING MY VIN# I SAW THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. AN PERHAPS MORE VEHICLES SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST FOR RECALL.
