Details

What's wrong: Lug nuts that retain wheels and wheel covers may have been torqued to lower than recommended specifications.

Why it matters: Insufficient clamping of lug nuts retaining the wheelcover and wheel could result in a loose wheel that could fall off with potentialfor loss of control and an accident.

The fix: Remove original wheel cover, torque lug to specification, and install full wheel covers that are retained by spring clips.
