The hazard

On certain trucks, wheel-end retainers may have been incorrectly installed on the front and rear axles during vehicle assembly. This could allow the wheel assembly to separate from the vehicle, which could cause a loss of control and a crash. In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the wheel bearings, lock washers, lock rings, and/or hub seals.
