Information on Clicking Noise from Chrome Clad Wheels at Low Speeds - Normal Characteristic/No Service Required

Subject:Information on Clicking Noise from Chrome Clad Wheels at Low Speeds -- Normal Characteristic/No Service Required

Models:2002-2005 Saturn L-Series Vehicles with Chrome Clad Wheels (RPO PY1)

Attention: Fixed Operations Manager and Technician


Purpose

The purpose of this bulletin is to inform Saturn Retailers of a normal characteristic of chrome clad wheels (RPO PY1).

Some customers may comment on a clicking noise coming from the wheel(s) of the vehicle. This noise may be noticed while driving at low speeds, next to a wall with the window(s) down. The clicking noise is caused by the flexing of the chrome cladding on the wheel and is considered a normal condition.

No service is required for this condition. Replacement of the wheels will not correct this concern.
