Wheels
Reported May 10, 2011 · ACCURIDE CORPORATION
Summary
ACCURIDE IS RECALLING ONE TUBELESS DUPLEX WHEEL, SIZE 22.5 X 14.00 15 DEGREE, WITH ACCURIDE PART NUMBER 29627. THE WHEEL IS COMPOSED OF A RIM THAT SUPPORTS THE TIRE AND A DISC THAT ARE WELDED INTO A ONE PIECE ASSEMBLY. THE ATTACHMENT WELD BETWEEN THE DISC AND THE RIM IS MISSING.
Consequence
A WHEEL WITHOUT AN ATTACHMENT WELD WILL NOT HAVE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY TO SUPPORT THE LOAD OF THE VEHICLE AND THE TIRE. ANY SIGNIFICANT SIDE FORCE ON THE WHEEL DURING NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND LOADS COULD CAUSE THE DISC TO DISENGAGE FROM THE RIM. IF THE RIM AND DISC SEPARATE, THE RIM COULD COME OFF THE VEHICLE POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
Remedy
THE AFFECTED WHEEL HAS BEEN LOCATED AND REMEDIED; THEREFORE, AN OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER WILL NOT BE ISSUED FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 25, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT ACCURIDE AT 1-800-869-2275.
