On certain vehicles, the lug nuts could potentially bottom out on the shoulder of the studs when used in a single rear wheel application. If this occurs, there could be inadequate clamp load to attach the wheel to the axle. This could potentially result in loss of a rear wheel while the vehicle is being driven. Correction: Rear wheel attaching studs will be replaced with a revised stud having a different profile that precludes the interference with the lug nuts.
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 2000120.
