The problem
ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH TREDIT WHEELS, THE RIMS MAY HAVE POOR WELD QUALITY AND INSUFFICIENT PRESS FIT BETWEEN THE WHEEL RIM AND DISC.
Risk
THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL COULD SEPARATE FROM THE RIM. THE WHEEL MAY WOBBLE AND CAUSE A VIBRATION OR THE MOUNTED TIRE COULD LOSE AIR CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
CARRIAGE IS WORKING WITH TREDIT TIRE TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND HAVE THE RIMS REPLACED. THE RECALL BEGAN NOVEMBER 15, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CARRIAGE AT 1-574-642-3622.
