Details
What's wrong: The torque retention crimp feature was missed during the manufacture of one lot of rear axle hub nuts. This could cause the nuts to loosen and allow the halfshaft to disengage from the wheel hub.
Why it matters: This could cause the vehicle to lose power and result in a crash without warning.
The fix: Dealers will replace the rear axle hub nuts. The recall began on July 21, 2008.
