The problem
THE DEFICIENCY EXISTS IN THE FRONT AXLE FORGED ALUMINUM HUBS. THE DEFICIENCY WHICH IS IN THE BARREL SECTION BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER BEARING, MAY RESULT IN CRACKS WHICH COULD LEAD TO HUB FAILURE. WHEN HUB FAILURE OCCURS, THE SEPARATED HUB IS RETAINED ON THE AXLE SPINDLE BY THE WHEEL BEARING AND ADJUSTING NUT.
What owners should do
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE FORGED ALUMINUM HUBS WITH STEEL HUBS, AT NO CHARGE.
