Introduction
Catastrophic wheel bearing failure is a severe mechanical issue that can lead to catastrophic consequences. It occurs when the wheel bearings, which connect the wheels to the vehicle's suspension system, fail unexpectedly, causing a sudden loss of vehicle control. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), wheel bearing failures are responsible for over 10,000 accidents each year.
Table 1: Estimated Wheel Bearing Failure Rates
Vehicle Type | Wheel Bearing Failure Rate |
---|---|
Passenger Cars | Up to 7% |
Light Trucks | Up to 10% |
Heavy Trucks | Up to 25% |
Table 2: Consequences of Wheel Bearing Failure
Consequence | Likelihood |
---|---|
