What is wrong
Bearings used in the rear axle hubs on these vehicles are improperly machined; bearing could seize at low mileages before sufficient run in is achieved.
The risk
If the bearing siezed, the axle hub would be noisy atbest, and in the worst case, the axle shaft could fall out causing loss ofvehicle control which may result in an accident.
The fix
Install new rear wheel inner and outer bearings.
