Wheels Vehicle recall #01V297000 · 2001 · 468 vehicles
What's wrong: The wheel bolt inserts fitted in the magnesium wheel can show signs of cracking.
Why it matters: If the wheel bolt inserts begin to crack, a reduction of the torque applied to the wheel would result. Vehicle handling could be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace all four magnesium wheels with wheels made of aluminum, which are not fitted with inserts. All the wheel bolts will also be replaced because the aluminum wheels require a different type of bolt. Owner notification began October 1, 2001.
