Defect
The lower spare tire carrier has insufficient strength, and the tightening instructions for the spare tire lock bolt are incorrect. Continued use allows driving vibration to progressively loosen the lock bolt. In the worst case, the lower spare tire carrier fractures and the spare tire separates from the vehicle.

On all vehicles, replace the lower spare tire carrier with a corrected part and tighten the lock bolt to its fully seated position.
