Dodge has announced that SKF is recalling certain hub units, part number BR930361, sold as a service part for the 1997 - 2004 Dodge Dakota and 1999 - 2003 Dodge Durango vehicles equipped with 2 wheel drive and rear axle ABS.  Due to a specification error, the rotor pilot for the hub unit may be to long.  This results in the wheel to not be seated fully against the hub flange face during mounting.

Improper seating of the wheel can result in excessive vibration, brake rotor noise, difficulty removing the wheel after installation and operation of the vehicle, and possibly wheel end seperation during vehicle operation.  Should wheel end seperation occur, the driver could loose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.

SKF will notify owners and replace the defective hub units free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin during October or November of 2008.  Owners may contact SKF VSM North America Customer Service at 1-800-644-8999.
