What is wrong
THE ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE EQUIPPED WITH SHORT THREADED BOLTS WHICH WILL NOT PROPERLY SECURE A SPARE STEEL WHEEL. USE OF THIS SPARE COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF THE OUTER WHEEL WITHOUT WARNING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
MANUFACTURER WILL FORWARD REPLACEMENT INNER WHEEL NUTS AND WILL COVER ONE HOUR LABOR CHARGE FOR EACH VEHICLE INVOLVED. OUTER WHEELS SHOULD BE REMOVED, INADEQUATE NUTS REPLACED AND SECURELY FASTENED, AND OUTER WHEEL NUTS SECURELY FASTENED. INCORRECT INNER NUTS SHOULD BE RETURNED TO MANUFACTURER.

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.
