Yes Component: Suspension: Front (Lower Control Arm)  Description:  The front passenger-side lower control arm on my 2021 Mazda3 failed at 111,777 miles. The car began clunking loudly when braking and while driving. My mechanic inspected the car on a lift, identified the lower control arm as the source, and told me the car was not safe to drive. He suspects a failed or defective part. A bolt hole near the rear control arm mount was also found empty, with rust on the threads.  The lower control arm holds the front wheel in place and carries the load under braking and steering. A failure like this could cause loss of steering control. The car has been off the road since the failure.  I live in [XXX], where roads are heavily salted in winter. Mazda has issued earlier recalls on other models for corrosion in the front lower control arms that could let the ball joints separate. I’m concerned this may be a similar issue.  I reported this to Mazda Customer Experience on October 8, 2026 (case number: [number]). The car is scheduled for diagnosis at Thompson’s, an authorized Mazda dealer in [XXX].
