The problem

The risk
Debris could migrate into the bearing oil cup, which could increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
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.
