Renault Trucks Premium Range: Incorrect Crimping Of Rear Hub Bearing Nut
Recall Summary Renault Trucks is recalling 12 vehicles from its Premium and Kerax ranges because the rear hub bearing nut may not be crimped correctly during manufacturing. If not properly secured, the nut could loosen and potentially cause the wheel hub to detach, though drivers will typically notice vibration or an ABS warning light first.
