Details
What's wrong: The wheel lug nuts were not tightened securely resulting in a fracture of the wheel studs.
Why it matters: The wheel could separate from the vehicle. If the vehicle were in motion, a vehicle crash could result.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the torque of all wheel nuts and, if necessary, tighten any that may be below required torque.
