## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, manufacturing defects in the front axle unitized hubs may cause premature spalling of the wheel bearings.  This condition will lead to eventual breakdown of the bearing and potential loss of vehicle control amidst the presence of warning signals such as activation of ABS warning light, steering wheel vibration, brake drag, noise and vehicle pull.  Correction:  Dealer will replace both front wheel hubs.
