Service VME - Rattle Noise due to Loose Center Caps - kw 03-03-10-002 break broken cap suspension tire wheel

When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

Some customers may comment on a rattle noise due to loose hubcap assemblies. It is important to note that if these caps are over-tightened during dealer installation, the plastic caps will, by design, jump threads which can result in a loose or rattle condition. Do not use an impact wrench on these plastic nut caps. Use a hand held deep socket wrench or torque stick to fully seat each nut cap. Refer to Service Technical Bulletin # 03-03-10-002 dated January, 2003.
