On certain trucks, the front spindle nut may have been over-tightened during vehicle assembly, causing preload on the front wheel bearings which may lead to premature bearing wear. If rapid bearing wear is allowed to progress, the front wheel assembly may separate from the vehicle and cause a crash. Correction: Dealers will verify bearing adjustment and, if found to be incorrect, will replace the bearings.
