Defect
During the manufacturing process for the rear axle, improper assembly resulted in insufficient torque being applied to the bolts securing the wheel hub to the trailing link. Continued operation in this condition causes the bolts to loosen and produce abnormal noise. In the worst case, the bolts fracture, the wheel separates, and the vehicle becomes inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the tightening torque of the affected bolts and, if torque is insufficient, tighten the bolts to the specified value.
