Loose Wheel
This is a Loose Wheel Warning Indicator symbol. The indicator is represented by a drawing of a mounted tire and wheel with a wrench or spanner above it in red. A loose wheel is potentially very dangerous so please find a good repair shop or your dealer as soon as possible!
- Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
- Otherwise, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!
Do not ignore this warning light. If a wheel is actually loose, it could and will damage the wheel and wheel studs. Further, if it stays loose, it could cause a loss of control and lead to an accident.
