Cracks develop in the wheel mounting surface. if these cracks become severe enough, the wheel will completely separate from the vehicle.
Consequence
If wheel separation occurs while the vehicle is in motion, loss of steering and brake control of the vehicle occurs, and a vehicle crash could result without prior warning.
Resolution
Dealers will inspect the manufacturing codes stamped on each wheel of the vehicle and if a wheel falls within the specified date code range, the dealer will replace that wheel assembly.
