What is wrong
THE AXLE HOUSINGS WERE MANUFACTURED WITH A TIGHT FRICTION WELD CURL RADIUS ON THE INSIDE DIAMETER OF THE AXLE HOUSING. UNDER OPERATIONAL LOADS, CRACKS CAN INITIATE AT THE WELD CURL RADIUS ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSING. THESE CRACKS MAY PROPAGATE, EVENTUALLY ALLOWING THE AXLE SPINDLE TO SEPARATE FROM THE AXLE HOUSING.
What can happen
SEPARATION OF THE AXLE SPINDLE FROM THE AXLE HOUSING CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REAR AXLE HOUSING WITH A NEW HOUSING.

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.
