This can cause the hub bolts to break and result in the wheel separating from the vehicle and a possible accident.
Recalled Vehicles:
1993 Nissan Maxima; 1994 Nissan Maxima
Component: Wheel
Manufactured by: Nissan North America, Inc.
Affected Units:: 97,000
Recall Summary:
The aluminum wheels were clear coated several times to protect the metal finish. Some excessive coating can leave the wheel nuts an excessive distance from the wheel hub when tightened, allowing them to loosen over time.
How to Fix:
Dealers will remove the clear plastic coating from the brake rotor mating surface on the back of each wheel and from the wheel nut mating surfaces. The wheels will be reinstalled and the wheel nuts tightened. Wheels, hub bolts, and nuts will be replaced if necessary.
