I’m hearing a noise like a spring popping from my right front tire. Is this something on a recall for this vehicle or what could it be & how much to repair it ?? Thank you

There’s a recall involving the right hand _rear_ wheel bearing/hub. Make sure the noise you are hearing is coming from the front, rather than the back. I don’t see anything in the way of recalls for the front/right wheel.

The noise you hear might be from a broken strut spring.

When a broken strut spring fails, this can happen.

Scary when doing 60 MPH!

Ok thank you, but do not notice at high speeds but very noticeable when going slow & making a right hand turn.
