MFTA will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the lower engine timing chain bolt to the proper torque, free of charge. The recal is expected to begin in late June 2015. Owners may call MFTA customer service at 1-877-711-0707. MFTA's number for this recall C1007710.

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.
