## What is wrong

On certain trucks, the front axle knuckles may have been manufactured incorrectly, which could lead to shorter than expected bearing and knuckle life.  In some instances, this could result in separation of the wheel from the axle.  A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a loss of control and a crash.  In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, stationary object or a bystander.  These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front axle knuckles.
