Fix: Dealers will inspect the axle attaching bolts for correct installation and the back side of the tires for damage from improperly installed axle bolts. Dealers will remove and reinstall the axle mounting bolts with the correct orientation and replace damaged tires free of charge. The recall began on september 11, 2008.
