Certain vehicles may have rear wheel hubs that could loosen and allow the left rear wheel and brake drum assembly to separate from the vehicle. Separation of a rear wheel and brake drum could result in reduced vehicle control and a possible crash. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and, if necessary, rear wheel hub and bearing assembly will be replaced. In addition, a redundant left rear wheel retention device will be added to the left rear spindle.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2000245.
