| Details | Certain vehicles equipped with 17 inch chrome steel wheels may lose clamp load on the wheel due to insufficient wheel contact area with the hub. In some cases the contact area may deform, resulting in a loss of lug nut torque. Loss of lug nut torque could cause vibration or separation of a wheel and tire from the vehicle, which could potentially result in loss of vehicle control and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will retorque the wheel lug nuts to 110 lb-ft. and install a label on the road wheels that specifies that the wheel lug nuts be torqued to 110 lb-ft any time the wheel is removed. |
