THE FRONT AXLE BEARINGS FAILED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE IN TRANSIT. THESE INCIDENTS BOTH TOOK PLACE WITHIN AN 8 MONTH PERIOD OF EACH OTHER. BOTH MECHANICS STATED THAT THE FRONT WHEEL WAS INADEQUATELY LUBRICATED AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE WHEEL TO SEIZE UP AND BREAK OFF AT THE SPINDLE. THIS FLAW WAS LIKELY DEVELOPED DURING ASSEMBLY WHICH IS WHY THIS ISSUE IS SO COMMON. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE BEARING TO SEIZIE WHICH LEADS TO WHEEL SEPARATION. IN MY CASE BOTH OF THE FRONT WHEELS WERE SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE AUTHORIZED MECHANIC THAT I USED EXPLAIND THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS THIS TYPE OF ISSUES ALL THE TIME, "THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE". I CONTACTED INTERNATIONAL AND THEY HAVE YET TO RESPOND

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
