2000 Daewoo Puerto Rico Lanos recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with alloy wheels and sold in puerto rico. These wheels were manufactured without the steel bushing inserts around the wheel bolt openings, allowing friction between the wheel bolt seats and the wheel bolts. This CAN result in the bolts loosening during hard braking.
💥 The risk
The wheel could detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will retorque the wheel bolts and will update the owner's manual wheel bolt torque specification.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
