DATSUN Y720 Recalls

The Datsun Y720 has 1 recall affecting the 1980 model year, where the front wheel hub seals on four-wheel-drive trucks can allow mud or water to work past them during extended off-road use, wearing the wheel bearings prematurely until they seize and cause loss of vehicle control. When the bearing seizes, the affected front wheel can lock up or behave unpredictably, leaving the driver unable to steer or stop normally. The risk is most relevant to trucks used in muddy or water-crossed terrain over extended periods, as that is the condition under which contamination builds up inside the hub.
