What’s wrong with it?
WHEEL BOLT CIRCLE CAN CRACK, ALLOWING TIRE AND WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE; THIS COULD AFFECT DRIVER CONTROL AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
WHEELS MAY LOOSEN DUE TO USE OF INCORRECT CAP NUT, PREVENTING PROPER CONTACT WITH THE WHEEL AND EVENTUAL LOSS OF TORQUE.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
