Vauxhall Signum: Rear Axle Hub May Not Be To Specification
Vauxhall is recalling 1,566 Signum and Vectra vehicles because the rear wheel bearing inner ring may not have been hardened correctly during manufacturing. This could cause a rumbling noise and potentially lead to hub detachment and loss of vehicle control. Dealers will inspect the rear wheel hubs and replace the bearing assembly if needed based on the manufacturing date stamp.
