3519F – 2019 MAZDA3 WHEEL LUG NUT LOOSENESS CONCERN
SI121308
CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 3519F
CAMPAIGN TYPE: Recalls
DESCRIPTION
STOP-DELIVERY
Mazda Motor Corporation decided to conduct a Safety Recall Campaign and Stop-Delivery to address a concern with certain 2019 Mazda3 vehicles, produced from September 25, 2018 through mAY 3, 2019 affecting 13,108 vehicles in Canada.
Action Required:
All unsold affected vehicles must not be delivered to customers until the recall repair is completed.
On certain subject vehicles, the wheel lug nuts may loosen and fall off during normal driving. Continuous use in such condition may lead to a wheel falling off the vehicle and there could be a loss of vehicle control.
No field cases of wheel separation have been reported. Rattling noise will occur prior to a wheel falling off the vehicle.
Causal factor: A manufacturing process error may create a partial gap between the hub bolt head and hub flange during assembly. This gap may cause a loss of torque and eventual loosening of the wheel lug nut if they were tightened prior to proper seating of the hub bolt, even though they were tightened to the correct specification at the plant.
