Proton Savvy Recall for Bearing Contamination (Pic)

Automaker Proton Holdings (Malaysia) announced an across-the-board recall for all 34,000 of its Savvy minicars built in 2005, 2006, and 2007.



The rear wheel bearings are reportedly prone to contamination by water, dirt and debris due to improper seal design and/or bearing assembly. Contamination will lead to bearing failure. Reportedly, water ingress and the resulting rust has been the primary culprit behind most Savvy wheel bearing failures.

Proton is asking all Savvy owners to immediately take their cars in for inspection and possible bearing replacement. The inspection takes approximately 20 minutes.

Proton has a long history of grappling with quality issues, and owners of other models have publicly complained about wheel bearing failures due to water contamination. And although the Savvy is exported to other countries, only Savvys sold in Malaysia are included in this initial recall notice.

Making the recall announcement, Proton said; "In line with PROTON
