The hazard

On certain vehicles, fastener torque for various front and rear axle attachments may degrade over time, due to variability in the axle painting process. This could result in noise or cause a degradation in steering and handling characteristics. A loss of vehicle control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will re-torque nineteen fasteners to specifications.
