Summary
VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH AN INCORRECT OUTER BEARING CUP INSTALLED IN THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HUB. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A LACK OF LUBRICATION IN THE BEARING AND COULD CAUSE THE BEARING TO FAIL. CONTINUED VEHICLE OPERATION WOULD DAMAGE THE WHEEL SPINDLE AND MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND VEHICLE CRASH. ALL VEHICLES WERE SOLD IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
Summary
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH AN OVERSIZED RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING CUP WHICH ALSO PREVENTS THE PLANT LUBRICATING EQUIPMENT FROM CYCLING TO LUBRICATE BOTH THE INNER AND OUTER WHEEL BEARINGS. THE RESULTANT BEARING LOOSENESS AND/OR THE LACK OF LUBRICATION MAY CAUSE BEARING FAILURE AND, POSSIBLY, WHEEL SPINDLE DAMAGE.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INNER AND OUTER RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS AND BEARING CUPS ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES AT NO COST TO OWNERS.
