Bolts
Today, I received the following letter from Tom Peck.
" Several owners of model year 08-11 DRV vehicles have experienced loosening of the wheel clamping system. Incidents are detected as recurring looseness (requiring frequent tightening) or as multiple stud fractures. In the most serious cases, all eight of the wheel mounting studs have fractured. In extreme cases, where all studs have fractured, the wheel has seperated from the vehicle."
Wants us to make sure to torque wheel nuts for 16" rims (9/16"studs) to 120-125 lb-ft. and 17.5 rims (5/8"studs) to 125-150 lb-ft.
A 3 page letter. Just wondering if any one else received this letter? Letter dated August 25,2011.
