## What is wrong

THE CLEAR COAT ON THE ALUMINUM WHEELS MAY BE THICKER THAN DESIRED. WHEEL NUTS ON A WHEEL WITH EXCESSIVE CLEAR COATING MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME BECAUSE THE CLEAR COAT LAYER COMPRESSES UNDER LOAD. IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED WITH WHEEL NUTS THAT HAVE LOOSENED, THEN ONE OR MORE HUB BOLTS MAY BREAK, AND THE WHEEL MAY COME OFF THE VEHICLE.

CORRECTION: THE CLEAR COATING WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE ROTOR MATING SURFACE ON THE BACK OF EACH WHEEL, AND FROM THE WHEEL NUT MATING SURFACES. WHEELS, HUB BOLTS AND NUTS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
