    REAR BRAKE AND HUB SECURITY CONCERN

    Defect

    It is possible for the bolts to be loose that join the rear brake and hub assembly to the rear axle carrier due to insufficient tightening. 1 or more of the 4 bolts could come loose causing an abnormal noise from the rear wheel axle area.

    Remedy

    Recall affected vehicles and check the rear brake and hub securing bolts for correct tightness.
