The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR DATA TAG AND INSTALLATION OF SPINDLE PLUG. MISSING DATA TAG WILL BE INSTALLED, BEARINGS WILL BE CLEANED, INSPECTED, AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 12, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORETRAVEL AT 1-800-955-6226.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
