Check if your Subaru has a Recall

 


Description of Problem:

The subject vehicles are equipped with wheels attached to the vehicle with hub bolts. After low-mileage use, all of the hub bolts on a wheel can loosen to the point where the wheel can detach from the vehicle. The cause of the issue and the driving patterns under which this issue could occur are still under investigation. If a wheel detaches from the vehicle while driving, it could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

Chronology of Principal Events:

Mid-May 2022 – Late June 2022

Toyota received a field technical report from the Taiwan market indicating separation of the
front left wheel from the vehicle. Toyota recovered the wheels and hub bolts from this vehicle
for investigation.

Toyota then received two field technical reports from the U.S. market. One of the reports indicated loose hub bolts of the front left wheel and the other indicated a separation of the front left wheel from the vehicle. Toyota reviewed the production process at the vehicle assembly plant and did not identify any abnormalities on the hub bolt tightening history of these three vehicles. Toyota also reviewed the assembly process of the wheel and hub bolts at the assembly plant and did not identify any abnormalities. In addition, although damage was observed on the wheel recovered from the vehicle in the Taiwan market, the damage was believed to be a result of the wheel separating from the vehicle and the cause of the loosening of the hub bolts was not able to be identified. Toyota continued to investigate and conducted a driving test using mass production wheels and hub bolts that were tightened to specification. The testing showed that the hub bolts loosened under certain severe driving patterns.

 

June 20, 2022

While the cause of the issue and the driving patterns under which this issue could occur are still under investigation, the current information indicates that all of the hub bolts on a wheel on the subject vehicles can loosen to the point where the wheel can detach from the vehicle after low-mileage use. Thus, Toyota decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall campaign and will instruct the owners of the subject vehicles not to drive their vehicles. Toyota will continue to investigate the issue and develop a remedy.

As of June 18, 2022, based on a diligent review of records, Toyota’s best engineering judgment is that there are two Toyota Field Technical Reports (received between June 3, 2022 and June 8, 2022) and zero warranty claims that have been received from U.S. sources that relate or may relate to this condition and which were considered in the decision to submit this report.

 

Description of Corrective Repair Action:

All known owners of the subject Toyota bZ4X vehicles will be notified by first class mail and instructed not to drive their vehicles. Owners will also be informed that Toyota’s investigation is ongoing and that they will be contacted when further information is available.

Subaru has informed Toyota that no Solterra vehicles have been sold to dealers or retail purchasers.

 

Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies for Toyota bZ4X vehicles

As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty (“Warranty”), all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota’s Warranty.
