De bouten waarmee de remschijven aan de naaf bevestigd zijn, zijn te bros. Hierdoor kunnen de bouten breken.

Consequences: Indien een of meerdere bouten breken kan het wiel blokkeren, de remschijf beschadigd raken, het voertuig trekken tijdens remmen en trillen en trekken zonder dat er geremd wordt. Tevens is er een luid geluid waarneembaar vanaf de voor- en/of achterzijde van het voertuig.

Context

Model Context

Wikidata + Wikipedia

The Land Rover Defender is a series of British off-road cars and pickup trucks. They have four-wheel drive, and were developed in the 1980s from the Land Rover series which was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. Following the 1989 introduction of the Land Rover Discovery, "Land Rover" became the name of a broader marque, no longer the name of a specific model; thus, in 1990, Land Rover renamed them Defender 90, Defender 110 and Defender 130 respectively.
