Glaval Bus
The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: GLAVAL CONVERSION VANS, 1995 CHEVROLET/GMC G-20 VANS EQUIPPED WITH TIPAN 15" X 7" WHEELS. THERE IS INADEQUATE THREAD ENGAGEMENT ON THE WHEELS WHEN INSTALLED ON THESE VANS.
Risk
IMPROPER TIGHTENING OF THESE WHEELS CAN, OVER TIME, CAUSE EXCESSIVE LOOSENING OF THE LUG NUTS, FRACTURE OF THE LUG STUDS, AND SEPARATION OF THE WHEEL FROM THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
What owners should do
THESE WHEELS WILL BE REPLACED WITH WHEELS HAVING A DEEPENED LUG NUT SEAT AND APPROPRIATE LUG NUTS TO ENSURE ADEQUATE THREAD ENGAGEMENT.
