| Defect Summary : Paint on the wheel mounting surfaces can act as a shim between the wheel and the rotor/drum. as the vehicle is driven, the wheel imbeds into the paint, loosening the lug nut and causing a loss of clamp load. |
Consequence Summary: Once clamp load is lost, all tire loads are taken by the wheel studs resulting in a fracture of the wheel studs. this could cause the wheel to separate from the vehicle and could result in a vehicles crash without prior warning. |
| Corrective Summary : Dealers will clean the wheel mounting surfaces for all four wheels. also, the wheel studs will be inspected for damage and will be replaced as necessary. |
