The defect

On the involved vehicles, the rear brake drum balance weights may interfere with the aluminum wheels. This contact could cause the wheel lug nuts to loosen, leading to wheel stud failure. This could allow separation of the wheel and tire from the vehicle.

The remedy

The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, modify the rear brake drum balance weights without charge to owner.
