Defect
The aluminum wheels installed as aftermarket equipment have an improperly designed center section dimension, which allows the wheel nuts to loosen with continued use. This produces abnormal noise and, in the worst case, may cause a wheel to detach from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the wheels with corrected parts. As an interim measure pending parts availability, retorque the wheel nuts once.

状況
架装部品として装着したアルミホイールにおいて、ホイールセンター部の設計寸法が不適切なため、使用を続けるとホイールナットが緩むことがある。そのため、異音が発生し、最悪の場合、車輪が脱落するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ホイールを対策品に交換する。 但し、部品の入手に時間がかかることから、暫定措置として一度ホイールナットの再締付を行う。
