Recall 2008422

The issue

On certain vehicles, the front axle bearings were not sufficiently lubricated during assembly, which may result in bearing seizing or possible wheel separation. A seized bearing, as well as front wheel separation, could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. A separated wheel could also roll-away, posing a risk to motorists and bystanders. Correction: Dealers will inspect, lubricate and, if necessary, replace the front axle bearings.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les roulement d’essieu avant n’ont pas été assez lubrifiés au cours du montage, ce qui pourrait causer un grippage de roulement ou un détachement de roue. Un roulement grippé ou un détachement de roue avant pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels, blesser quelqu’un ou entraîner des pertes de vie. Une roue qui se détacherait mettrait en danger les usagers de la route et les personnes se trouvant à proximité. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter, lubrifier et, le cas échéant, remplacer les roulements d’essieu avant.
