Details

What's wrong: The flange nuts on the axle shaft sub-assemblies can loosen over time and potentially cause one or both axle shaft sub-assemblies to separate from the axle housing.

Why it matters: Axle shaft separation can cause a loss of vehicle stability and brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the rear axle assembly, tighten the axle flange nuts, and replace any damaged axle-related components if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 15, 2022.
