SERVICE BULLETIN

Customers purchasing an Explorer Van equipped with cast alloy 

wheels must be made aware of the lug nut tightening procedure 

necessary in the immediate break-in period of the van. 

Lug nuts need to be checked and tightened often the first one 

hundred (100) miles and once again after an additional two 

hundred fifty (250) miles. Lug nuts should then be checked every 

one thousand to fifteen hundred (1,000-1,500) miles.

If the wheels are ever removed for service or tire rotation, the 

initial lug nut tightening procedure must be gone through again. 

Failure to follow proper lug nut tightening procedures could result 

in wheel stud failure and possible loss of the wheel.

Optional Upgrade Tires

The buyer understands that the original tire manufacturer provides 

a warranty for any implied defects.

Lug nut adapter provided in  

Care Package.

Wheels

Please note that it is normal for the front wheels to accumulate 

more dust than the rear wheels. This dust is the normal result of 

wear on the front disc brake pads. Be sure to follow the cleaning 

directions on page 24.
