The issue
THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS COULD FAIL DUE TO INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION. THIS COULD REDUCE SMOOTH ROTATION OF THE BEARINGS ON THE AXLE AND RESULT IN REDUCED VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: ALL UNITS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN OPERATED MUST HAVE THE BEARINGS PROPERLY LUBRICATED, THE RIGHT HAND OIL SEAL REPLACED AND AN IMPROVED AXLE COLLAR INSTALLED. UNITS WHICH HAVE BEEN IN OPERATION MUST HAVE THE BEARINGS REPLACED, BE PROPERLY LUBRICATED AND FITTED WITH NEW OIL SEALS AND AN IMPROVED AXLE COLLAR.
