Details

What's wrong: Threaded fasteners used to attach the brake rotors to the front and rear wheel assemblies could fail due to hydrogen embrittlement. The failure could occur under the head of the fastener if a crack develops, causing a loss of clamp load and possible separation of the head from the threaded body of the fasteners.

Why it matters: A fastener failure will reduce the strength of the bolt assembly and could affect the braking characteristics of the vehicle.

The fix: Dealers will replace the rotor bolts. Owner notification is expected to begin during May 2001.
