Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel to become loose

NOTICE:
Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to
brake pulsation and rotor damage.
To
avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque specification.
