Two problems related to wheel bolts have been reported for the 1996 Land Rover Discovery. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving 30 mph (en route to the interstate), my steering wheel began shaking violently. As I prepared to pull over to investigate, the lugs: nuts on my front left wheel flew across the road and shortly thereafter, the entire wheel flew off. The wheel bounced against the left front panel of the vehicle causing the damage mentioned in this report. I had previously taken my vehicle in for service to Land Rover of winnetka in winnetka, illinois complaining of a shaking steering wheel at speeds over 45 mph.
While driving 30mph driver's front wheel fell off due to lugs: nuts shearing off. Steering wheel shook violently. Wheel hit vehicle after it came off.
