The problem

During the process of assembling the rear stub axle housing at the supplier’s, it is possible that the attachment screw of the rear right or rear left stub axle housing was not tightened to the required torque. Friction noise may occur in the area of the rear axle during operation, which may be followed by loss of control of the vehicle when the stub axle housing comes loose, increasing the risk of an accident.

The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
