# Service bulletin 05\-70\-19

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10165552
- Published by NHTSA: 2019\-10\-01
- Manufacturer's number: 05\-70\-19
- Manufacturer's date: 2019\-09\-30
- NHTSA component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC; WHEELS

## NHTSA's summary

This bulletin announces a design change made to the rear wheel / brake backing plates. Under certain circumstances, some customers may have a concern regarding a howling\-type sound from the rear of the vehicle later diagnosed as a faulty hub / bearing assembly. Unevenness of the backing plate surfaces may affect the concentricity \(roundness\) of the hub / bearing after torqued during assembly and over time, cause the howling \-type sound to develop. Production changes for the backing plates have been implemented to optimize their mounting surface quality.
