What NHTSA recorded

If involved vehicles are driven in deep mud or water for long distances and an extended period of time, mud and water may penetrate the front wheel hub through the grease seal. Under these conditions the front wheel bearing could wear prematurely, due to bearing contamination.

Remedy

The dealer will install an improved grease seal. Upon inspection, if signs of bearing wear or rust are present, the bearing will also be replaced at no cost to owner.

Affected model years

Pages for each model year show complaints, parts, mileage and other recalls.
