The hazard
On certain vehicles, the front axle bearings were not sufficiently lubricated during assembly, which may result in bearing seizing or possible wheel separation. A seized bearing, as well as front wheel separation, could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. A separated wheel could also roll-away, posing a risk to motorists and bystanders. Correction: Dealers will inspect, lubricate and, if necessary, replace the front axle bearings.
