What's wrong: If the incorrect hubs are installed on a 4x2 vehicle, the rear wheels can loosen, or in some cases, separate from the vehicle.
Why it matters: This condition could cause loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the rear hubs and, if necessary, replace them. Owner notification began September 25, 2000.
