United States 05V422000
Trails West Manufacturing of Idaho, Inc.
The problem
ON CERTAIN 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
SINCE ONLY ONE TRAILER WAS INVOLVED AND HAD NOT YET BEEN SOLD, TRAILS WEST NOTIFIED THE DEALER INVOLVED ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2005.
