What is wrong
Simard Suspensions Inc (Simard) is recalling certain front suspensions. These axles have plastic insulators installed between the wheel hub and the wheel or the brake drum and the wheel to prevent corrosion between the two components. Heat generated by the brakes may melt these insulators.
What can happen
If the insulators melt, it can cause the wheel to loosen and detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Simard will notify owners, and dealers will remove or replace the insulators, free of charge. Owners may contact Simard customer service at 1-877-898-8317 or email: service@simardsuspensions.com.

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.
