What's wrong, in plain English
The bolts that attach the wheel hubs to some Solterra and BZ4X vehicles may loosen over time, even after the vehicle has only been driven a short distance. If a hub bolt loosens enough, the wheel it holds in place can come off the vehicle while it is being driven. Toyota dealers will replace the hub bolts and the wheels on all affected vehicles, free of charge.
