Recall 1982088

The issue

REVISED-DESIGN LOCK WEDGES ON REAR AXLE ASSEMBLIES MAY DISENGAGE FROM THE AXLE RETAINING NUT. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR ON THE LEFT AXLE AND THE WEDGE BECAME JAMMED BETWEEN THE RETAINING NUT AND THE HUB, THE REATINING NUT COULD LOOSEN AND BACK OFF COMPLETELY, CREATING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE LEFT REAR AXLE, WHEEL AND BRAKE DRUM PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY SEPARATING FROM THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. PARTIAL SEPARATION WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF REAR BRAKING CAPABILITY AND COMPLETE SEPARATION WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE CONTROL.

Description (français)

Les clavettes de sûreté des essieux arrière, dont la conception a été révisée, peuvent se dégager de l'écrou qui les fixent aux essieux. Si cela se coinçait entre l'écrou et le moyeu, l'écrou pourrait se desserrer et reculer au maximum, de sorte que l'essieu et la roue arrière de gauche, ainsi que le tambour de frein, risqueraient de se séparer partiellement ou complètement. Une séparation partielle entraînerait le nonfonctionnement du frein arrière, et une séparation complète nuirait à la maîtrise du véhicule.
