corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the front disc brake hub
and rotor that contacts the wheel. Installing wheels without
correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces
can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off
while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control.
