Reported risk: The three bolts which secure the stub axle to the spring strut may not have been fully torqued on initial assembly. Remedy: Recall the affected vehicles and check the torque setting on the bolts involved retorqueing as required. Any bolts found to have been loose (as distinct from being insufficiently torqued) will be replaced.
