Recall 2017236

The issue

On certain vehicles equipped with steel wheels, the lug nuts on the front wheels can loosen over time, causing vibration. If this vibration is unnoticed by the operator, and the wheel nuts were to loosen, it could lead to a complete separation of the wheel(s) from the vehicle, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will repair or replace the lug nuts and associated wheels as necessary.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules dotés de jantes d'acier, les écrous des roues avant pourraient se desserrer avec le temps et causer des vibrations. Si le conducteur ne ressentait pas les vibrations et que les écrous se desserraient, les roues pourraient se détacher du véhicule et augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront réparer ou remplacer les écrous et les jantes connexes au besoin.
