Details
What's wrong: Screws that attach wheel covers on original equipment wheels were not fully torqued and may gradually loosen and separate from wheels under extreme driving conditions.
Why it matters: Wheel covers could separate from wheels; this couldpresent a hazard to other vehicles and pedestrians in vicinity of occurrence.
The fix: Apply "loctite 242 (blue) to the wheel cover attaching screws to prevent screws from loosening.
