14 units of the Slavia and Kushaq affected.

By definition, a ‘track control arm’ is a key part of the suspension of vehicles connecting the wheel and suspension assembly to the chassis. The component is designed to help prevent untoward movement of the wheels and maintain optimal contact between the wheel and the road for stability.
