OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
18E041000
Wheels:hub
Reported Jun 15, 2018 · Simard Suspensions inc
Summary
Simard Suspensions Inc (Simard) is recalling certain front suspensions. These axles have plastic insulators installed between the wheel hub and the wheel or the brake drum and the wheel to prevent corrosion between the two components. Heat generated by the brakes may melt these insulators.
Consequence
If the insulators melt, it can cause the wheel to loosen and detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Simard will notify owners, and dealers will remove or replace the insulators, free of charge. Owners may contact Simard customer service at 1-877-898-8317 or email: service@simardsuspensions.com.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
