What is wrong
Timoney Technology (Timoney) is recalling certain Mark 1 and Gen 2 Independent Front Suspensions (IFS). Inconsistent machining may result in fatigue cracks developing over time in the front axle spindles, causing failure of the spindle and the possible separation of a front wheel from the vehicle.
What can happen
If a wheel separates from the vehicle, it can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Timoney will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the affected suspensions, and those manufacturers will conduct recalls of their own with their dealers replacing the front axle spindle, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 2018.

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.
