Details

What's wrong: A substitute wheel lug nut tightening process may not have been sufficient to assure proper torque of the lug nuts.

Why it matters: Improper wheel lug nut torque could allow a wheel to loosen and cause a crash without warning.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the wheel lug nuts for proper torque and correct if necessary. Owner notification began June 4, 2001. All owners have been contacted.
