Timken Company is recalling 370 of its TP1HUBA wheel hub bearings sold on or before December 31, 2024. These bearings may have incorrectly threaded oil plug ports that can leak oil, which is necessary for the component to function safely. Dealers will inspect and replace the affected hub assemblies free of charge to prevent potential equipment failure.
A lack of oil can cause the wheel bearing to seize or separate from the vehicle while in motion. This failure significantly increases the risk of a crash.
You have 2 options:
Inspection of the hub assembly
Replacement of defective hub assemblies
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
