Recall 95V047000558 vehicles

Problem: THE MISADJUSTMENT OF A MACHINE TOOL ALLOWED METAL PARTICLES TO REMAIN IN THE REAR AXLE ABS SPEED SENSOR MOUNTING HOLE. THE PARTICLES CAN COME LOOSE, ATTACH TO THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, AND FALSELY INDICATE A WHEEL-LOCK CONDITION TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT.
Risk: THIS FALSE SIGNAL CAN CAUSE PREMATURE ABS FUNCTION AT THE REAR BRAKES WHICH COULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES.
Fix: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SENSOR OPENING FOR METAL PARTICLES AND REMOVE AS REQUIRED.
