Description (français)

Sur les véhicules à moyeux autobloquants sur les roues avant, la came du mécanisme de blocage du moyeu peut n'avoir pas subi un bon traitement thermique. Cette came peut se briser au moment de son embrayage avec l'axe avant. Si un morceau de la came se coince sur l'écrou du moyeu, l'écrou peut se dévisser progressivement et entraîner la séparation de la roue et un risque d'accident.
