Defect
On certain 2500 and 3500 series vehicles, a wheel bearing assembly retaining nut was omitted during assembly, which could lead to a possible bearing separation. If this were to occur, the ABS warning lamp would illuminate and the ABS system would be disabled. The driver would also notice a grinding noise, a decrease in vehicle speed and a steering pull in the direction of the affected assembly. Failure to heed these warnings can result in loss of vehicle control and a crash.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the wheel bearing assembly if a missing nut is noted during inspection.
