Recall 1994176

The issue

VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH INCORRECTLY MACHINED REAR BRAKE DRUMS. AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE LOSS OF WHEEL CLAMP LOAD. THIS COULD RESULT IN FATIGUE FRACTURE OF THE WHEEL STUDS CAUSING POSSIBLE WHEEL SEPARATION AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: BOTH REAR WHEEL DRUMS WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.

Description (français)

Les tambours des freins arrière de certains de ces véhicules seraient mal usinés. Si c'est le cas, il pourrait éventuellement y avoir perte de puissance de serrage sur la roue. Les boulons de roues risquent alors de se briser par fatigue et les roues de se séparer subitement du véhicule, ce qui pourrait causer un accident. Correction: Il faudra remplacer les deux tambours arrière sur les véhicules visés.
