Filing in context

For scale, 3,833 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 month.
Defect
On four-wheel-drive vehicles, the material hardness of the rear wheel hub does not meet specification, causing cracks to form during manufacturing. Continued use allows these cracks to propagate until the rear wheel hub fractures. In the worst case, the rear wheel may detach from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the rear wheel hub assembly with a corrected part.
