Concern :BRAKING IMBALANCE MAY MAKE VEHICLE UNSTABLE
Description :The fixing bolts for the front and rear hub assemblies are not to specification. The bolts could break and cause loud noise, followed by severe vibration, wheel lock, possibly a bolt could puncture the brake disc, or even, if all the bolts are damaged, the hub may become insecure to the axle. The aforementioned will cause instability and significantly increase the risk of collision.
Remedial Action :Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace all the front and rear wheel hub fixings. If any damaged has been caused by bolts failing the affected components will be replaced.
