TOYOTA announced a problem with the Corolla affecting a total of 6,617 vehicles.
It is possible for the bolts to be loose that join the rear brake and hub assembly to the rear axle carrier due to insufficient tightening. 1 or more of the 4 bolts could come loose, causing an abnormal noise from the rear wheel axle area. In the event that all 4 bolts loosen completely, separation of the rear brake and hub assembly from the rear axle carrier may occur, which, in the worst case, could lead to a loss of vehicle control. Vehicles built from 11/22/2001 to 04/04/2002 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall affected vehicles and check the rear brake and hub securing bolts for correct tightness.
Vehicles with the following identification numbers are affected:
