VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH AN INCORRECT OUTER BEARING CUP INSTALLED IN THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HUB. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A LACK OF LUBRICATION IN THE BEARING AND COULD CAUSE THE BEARING TO FAIL. CONTINUED VEHICLE OPERATION WOULD DAMAGE THE WHEEL SPINDLE AND MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND VEHICLE CRASH. ALL VEHICLES WERE SOLD IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
