Details

What's wrong: These wheels were manufactured without the steel bushing inserts around the wheel bolt openings, allowing friction between the wheel bolt seats and the wheel bolts. This can result in the bolts loosening during hard braking.

Why it matters: The wheel could detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will retorque the wheel bolts and will update the owner's manual wheel bolt torque specification.
