The KJ's have a habit of lower control arm ball joint failure. It results in all sorts of problems. Basically, the wheel lays over or goes forward or back.

An earlier recall was for the lower control arm breaking, so how cheap can we make them

That recall sounds like assembly plant torque wrench setting too high.
