NOTE: This Service Procedure applies ONLY for specific Fleet Vehicles.

NOTE: Some vehicles above may have been identified as not involved in this recall and therefore have been excluded from this recall.

Subject

The flanged wheel lug nuts on about 1,394 of the above vehicles may have been over-torqued during service to an incorrect torque specification in the Service & Owner’s information. A yielded wheel stud may eventually break, which could lead to a wheel separating from the vehicle during operation. A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a vehicle crash without prior warning and/or the wheel/tire could pose a risk to other vehicles or pedestrians.
