Does this affect my vehicle?
This recall covers vehicles built between September 1994 and November 1994. If yours was built outside that window, it is not part of this recall.
- Rockwell 3219-P-5034Built September 1994 to November 1994
- Rockwell Brake DrumBuilt September 1994 to November 1994
What the defect is
The machining performed on the brake drums will not permit the drum to seat fully against the hub face. The reduced brake drum and hub contact area will abrade and fret allowing the wheel mounting joint to loosen.
What could happen
The wheel mounting studs can break resulting inseparation of the wheel from the vehicle. Vehicle steering and braking will be reduced and the separated wheel would cause a hazard to others on the highway. Either event can result in a vehicle accident.
What gets fixed
ROCKWELL WILL REPLACE THE INCORRECTLY MACHINED DRUMS WITH NEW BRAKE DRUMS AND REPLACE THE WHEEL MOUNTING STUDS.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 18 January 1995.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
