The problem
On certain vehicles, the wheels may have an incorrect finish, which can allow the bolts to loosen.
The risk
Loosening of the bolts can allow the wheel to become detached from the hub, which could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace all wheels and bolts including the spare wheel free of charge. The recall began on february 24, 2006. Owners may contact bentley at 248-754-6137.
