Recall 1982098

The issue

On certain Blazer, Jimmy and C10 vehicles, the rear brake drums may exhibit an interference condition between the rear brake drum balance weights and aluminum wheels. This condition could cause loss of wheel lug nut torque and wheel stud failure could occur which would allow the tire and wheel assembly to separate from the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion. This could result in loss of control and possible vehicle crash.

Description (français)

Sur certain Blazer, Jimmy et C10, les contrepoids d'équilibrage des tambours des freins arrière peuvent gêner le mouvement des roues en aluminium. Ce défaut pourrait réduire le couple de serrage d'un écrou de roue, et le goujon de roue pourrait faire défaut, ce qui permettrait à la roue complète de se détacher du véhicule en mouvement. Le conducteur pourrait ainsi perdre le maîtrise de sond véhicule et subir un accident.
