Summary
TRAPPED MUD AND SALT CAN RESULT IN CORROSION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND THE WHEEL HOUSING. SIGNIFICANT CORROSION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE MAY RESULT IN FUEL LEAKS WHICH, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. IN ADDITION, THE LEFT REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IS MOUNTED TO THE WHEEL HOUSING, AND IN THE EVENT OF SIGNIFICANT CORROSION, OPERATION OF THE SEAT BELT COULD BE AFFECTED. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED AS NECESSARY.
Summary
THE CLEAR COAT ON THE ALUMINUM WHEELS MAY BE THICKER THAN DESIRED. WHEEL NUTS ON A WHEEL WITH EXCESSIVE CLEAR COATING MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME BECAUSE THE CLEAR COAT LAYER COMPRESSES UNDER LOAD. IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED WITH WHEEL NUTS THAT HAVE LOOSENED, THEN ONE OR MORE HUB BOLTS MAY BREAK, AND THE WHEEL MAY COME OFF THE VEHICLE. CORRECTION: THE CLEAR COATING WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE ROTOR MATING SURFACE ON THE BACK OF EACH WHEEL, AND FROM THE WHEEL NUT MATING SURFACES. WHEELS, HUB BOLTS AND NUTS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
