## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND MULTI\-PURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES.  ONE OR BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTOR/HUBS WERE BUILT WITH AN OUT\-OF\-SPECIFICATION GRAY IRON THAT CAN FAIL DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.


## What can happen

IF A DRIVER CONTINUES TO DRIVE WITH A CRACKED ROTOR, THE CRACKS COULD CONTINUE AROUND THE WHEEL MOUNTING BOLT CIRCLE AND ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A WHEEL SEPARATION.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ROTORS FOR A CORE DATE OF "287" AND, IF FOUND, REPLACE THE ROTOR.

OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MARCH 1998.
