Toyota recalled Corolla vehicles built between 22 November 2001 and 4 April 2002. It is possible for the bolts to be loose that join the rear brake and hub assembly to the rear axle carrier due to insufficient tightening. 1 or more of the 4 bolts could come loose causing an abnormal noise from the rear wheel axle area. The dealer will check the rear brake and hub securing bolts for correct tightness. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
It is possible for the bolts to be loose that join the rear brake and hub assembly to the rear axle carrier due to insufficient tightening. 1 or more of the 4 bolts could come loose causing an abnormal noise from the rear wheel axle area. In the event that all 4 bolts loosen completely separation of the rear brake and hub assembly from the rear axle carrier may occur which in the worst case could lead to a loss of vehicle control.
