The problem
CERTAIN VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH WHEEL ASSEMBLIES THAT MAY HAVE CRACKS NEAR THE BOLT HOLES IN THE WHEEL DISC. DURING VEHICLE USE, THE CRACKS COULD GRADUALLY INCREASE AND RESULT IN PARTIAL OR COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY FROM THE VEHICLE.
What owners should do
DEALER WILL INSPECT THE WHEEL DISC DATE CODE AND REPLACE THOSE WHEELS INDICATING AN OCTOBER 18, 1979 DATE OF MANUFACTURE.
