Details

What's wrong: The brake rotor material strength is not sufficient causing a hub fatigue fracture.

Why it matters: This fracture can result in crack propagation around the wheel mounting bolt circule ultimately resulting in a wheel separation.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the brake rotors and if necessary, replace these rotors.
