What the hazard is
If the defect occurs, the wheels may detach, posing an accident hazard.
What to do
Owners will be notified and instructed to take their vehicle to a Land Rover dealer who will replace wheel nuts with wheel nuts to the correct material specification. Locking wheel nuts are not affected by this concern.
Defect
The wheel nuts may be made from material where the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) is lower than required specification. In this condition some wheel nuts may crack and detach from the wheel hub stud when subjected to shock loading.
