What NHTSA recorded

Hub separation, due to cracks between the inner and outer bearing of the hub, can occur which will lead to hub failure. When failure occurs, the separated hub is retained on the axle spindle by the wheel bearing adjusting nuts, and can result in two possible conditions: 1) generation of excessive heat resulting from the brake lining contacting the drum causing a blown tire and/or fire, and 2) progressive damage to the hub which would allow the separated hub with the wheel and tire to become disengaged from the vehicle in an uncontrolled manner.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the hubs at no charge.
