What Happened
The hub assembly is a crucial part that connects your wheel to your vehicle's steering system. In some Federal-Mogul wheel hub assemblies made between 2006 and 2007, a small part called the inboard retention nut can loosen over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, it could cause your wheel to separate from your vehicle, making a crash more likely. This is a serious situation that could put you and others at risk.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty hub assembly with a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
