There are several recalls for this identical part, but not my specific VIN.....even though it's the identical part under other recalls. Safety recall 20s04, 20s62, 19s17, to name a few.”

NHTSA complaint #10627925, filed 2014-08, 1,500 miles“While driving, the wheel fell off the vehicle and the vehicle swerved. This occurred at a low speed (10mph) upon more closely inspecting the vehicle, it appears that the axle was broken off of the vehicle. I have a photo of the broken piece of the vehicle, as well as photos of the broken situation of the vehicle. This car was rented through budget rental car agency, and I do not know if responsibility also lies with the rental car company as well.”
