Recall 2004319

The issue

On certain vehicles, the front wheel hub assemblies were not heat treated correctly. This condition may lead to the development of small cracks in the hub. If the cracks were to progress, this could eventually result in wheel separation. Wheel separation may lead to loss of vehicle control, and potentially result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the front wheel hub and rotor assemblies.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le traitement thermique des moyeux de roue avant pourrait avoir été fait incorrectement. Cette anomalie peut avoir créé une petite fissure dans les moyeux. Si la fissure devait progresser, cela pourrait éventuellement mener à la séparation des roues. La séparation d'une roue peut se produire inopinément, mener à la perte de maîtrise du véhicule et causer un accident. Correction: Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les deux ensembles disque-moyeu de roue avant.
