The hazard
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH EATON REAR AXLE ASSEMBLIES WITH ANTILOK WHEEL NUTS. THE WHEEL NUT LOCK TABS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY FATIGUE AND FAIL FROM CRACKING DURING SERVICE. THIS COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY FROM THE AXLE HOUSING. A DISENGAGED WHEEL ASSEMBLY COULD POSE A HAZARD TO OTHER USERS OF THE ROADWAY AND ADJACENT PROPERTY. THIS CONDITION WOULD ALSO AFFECT VEHICLE STABILITY AND CONTROL AND COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: ANTILOK WHEEL NUTS WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH STANDARD WHEEL NUTS AND LOCK RING.
