Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Mazda Motor Corp.
Details
What's wrong: The groove for the rear wheel bearing retainer ring was incorrectly machined.
Why it matters: If the retaining ring does not sit correctly in thegroove, the axle lug nuts will break, causing the brake drum, wheel, and tireassembly to separate from the vehicle.
The fix: Midas shops will replace the brake drums with other brake drums from another supplier.
