What is wrong
UNDER CERTAIN SPECIFIC LOAD CONDITIONS, SUCH AS ACCIDENTAL HIGH SPEED IMPACTS ON THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM, THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUB ASSEMBLIES COULD DETERIORATE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: PROLONGED USE OF DETERIORATED WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUB ASSEMBLIES RESULTS IN REAR END NOISE AND VIBRATION. THIS COULD ULTIMATLY CAUSE IMPAIRED HANDLING AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
REPLACE BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT REAR HUB/HUB CARRIER ASSEMBLIES.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
