What is wrong
THE STUB ENDS OF THE AXLE HOUSING MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATIONS. THESE STUBS WOULD BE OF INADEQUATE STRENGTH AND COULD FRACTURE. COMPLETE FRACTURE WOULD CAUSE THE FRONT WHEEL, HUB, AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY TO DETACH FROM THE AXLE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, INSTALL THE CORRECT AXLE HOUSING STUBS.

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.
