Reported Jan 5, 197990 vehicles affectedCHRYSLER CORPORATIONBuilt Jan 1, 1979 – Jan 1, 1979

The defect

The involved vehicles may have been assembled with an oversized right front wheel bearing cup which also prevents the plant lubricating equipment from cycling to lubricate both the inner and outer wheel bearings. The resultant bearing looseness and/or the lack of lubrication may cause bearing failure and, possibly, wheel spindle damage.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the inner and outer right front wheel bearings and bearing cups on all involved vehicles at no cost to owners.
