WASHINGTON (Dec. 10, 2004) — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened a preliminary evaluation of alleged steering knuckle fractures at the lower ball joint attachment in model year 2003-2004 Hummer H2 sport-utility vehicles. These failures caused the vehicles to lose control, complainants said, and three of the four reported incidents also resulted in wheel separation.
