On certain vehicles, a crack may occur on the flange of the front hub after driven a lot on a curvy road, due to the lack of durability of the hubs. Also, a crack may occur sooner, depending on other conditions, such as vehicle maintenance and loading. If left unfixed, the crack can grow. At worst, the cracked part gets ruptured, causing the wheel to fall off. Note: this recall is to include more vehicles in the previous recall; RJ-1056-0 issued on 24 March 2004.

RJ-1076-0
Make/model:
Issued:

Component:
front hub

Correction:
The hubs should be replaced with the factory approved replacement units. However, it will take some time to verify and supply the factory approved replacement units, so the following actions should be taken for the time being. (1) For vehicles the latest model hub can be fitted, the hubs should be replaced with the latest model, if not installed yet. (2) For vehicles the latest model hub can not be fitted, the hubs should be inspected, and if a crack is found, that hub should be replaced with a new one.
Identification:
(1) Gold sticker with a diameter of 9mm on the specified spot(*), for installing the factory approved replacement hub. (2) Silver sticker with a diameter of 9mm on the specified spot(*), for installing the temporary measure hub. *: For trucks, below the striker on the driver door pillar. For buses, on the upper right corner of the back of the service hatch located at the right rear.
