Reported Oct 26, 1994435 vehicles affectedGENERAL MOTORS CORP.Built Oct 1, 1994 – Oct 1, 1994

The defect

The rear brake drums were not correctly machined. As the vehicle IS driven, loss of wheel clamp load can result from this condition. Once clamp load IS lost, all tire loads are directly taken by the wheel studs. This loading can cause fatigue failure of the wheel studs.

The risk

If this occurs, a wheel could separate from the vehicle, and a crash could occur without prior warning.

The remedy

Replace rear brake drums.
