Condition
Some customers may comment about a squeak type noise coming from the front or rear wheels. This condition is most apparent during cold weather and
while driving at low speeds (0-24 km/h (0-15 mph)).
Cause
This condition may be caused by hard contact between the inner edge of the wheel cover and the outer edge of the steel rim.
