The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SNOWMOBILE TWO PLACE TILT AND V-FRONT TRAILERS. THE AXLE HUB WAS NOT PROPERLY SIZED. THE AXLE HUB IS 6.5 INCHES IN DIAMTER, BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 5.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER.
Risk
OVER TIME, THE BOLT HOLES IN THE WHEEL RIM COULD BECOME ELONGATED AND CAUSE RIM FAILURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HUBS, OR IN THE LATERNATIVE, LARGER TIRES WILL BE PROVIDED TO FIT ON THE EXISTING HUBS.
