Wheel Bearing Speed Sensor Wires Reversed

Recalled: November 4, 2013 ~14,794 units affected 13E055

Description

ILJIN USA Corporation (ILJIN) is recalling certain SKF USA and Federal Mogul (MOOG)-brand front wheel bearings with an integrated wheel speed sensor produced from June 26, 2013 to September 27, 2013. The affected bearings were produced with the speed sensor wires reversed.

Injuries / Consequence

Due to the reversed wires, the wheel speed sensor will not function, disabling the antilock brake system (ABS). Without ABS, the driver may have reduced control of the vehicle while braking and require a longer distance to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

ILJIN will notify purchasers and will replace the wheel sensor wiring harness, free of charge. ILJIN will fully reimburse any purchasers or end users who have already removed, repaired or replaced the defective part or paid someone to do so. The recall began on December 9, 2013. Owners should contact ILJIN at 1-248-848-1020 to obtain details about the reimbursement program.
