Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

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.
