Recall 03V-366: 2004 Toyota Corolla
TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for wheels, reported to NHTSA on Oct 6, 2003, covering about 381 vehicles.
The problem
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with factory aluminum alloy wheels, the lug nut(S) may not secure the wheel properly to the hub assembly due to over-drilling of one or more of the five lug nut holes on the alloy wheel. If the vehicle is driven for an extended period in this condition, the lug nut(S) could potentially loosen.
The risk
In the worst case, the stud bolt(S) may fracture, which may result in the separation of the wheel from the hub assembly and lead to a loss of vehicle control.
The fix
Dealers will inspect all four factory aluminum alloy wheels and, if necessary, replace any found to be out of specifications. Owner notification began october 27, 2003. Owners should contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
