Details

What's wrong: Paint on the wheel and sprocket-mating surfaces could produce insufficient clamp load on the sprocket. Rear sprocket bolts could become loose causing excessive wear and fretting at the wheel and sprocket mating surfaces allowing the sprocket bolt to fail.

Why it matters: This condition could result in loss of vehicle control.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the rear wheel and sprocket hub, remove all paint from the contact surfaces of the wheel hub and sprocket, and install new sprocket bolts. The wheel and sprocket will be replaced if bolts were loose and damage has occurred.
