I HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A TRIP TO LOS ANGELES. WHEN WE WERE UNLOADING OUR TRAILER I NOTICED ONE OF THE WHEELS WAS AT A ANGLE ON CLOSER EXAMINATION I FOUND THAT THE CENTER HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE WHEEL. I REMOVED THE WHEEL AND FOUND THAT THE WELDS HAD BROKEN HOLDING THE CENTER TO THE WHEEL THE WELDS DO NOT HAVE WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER PROPER PENETRATION. THEY ALSO WERE DIRTY AND RUSTY INDICATING THEY HAD BEEN BROKEN FOR A WHILE THERE IS ALSO SCRUB MARKS SHOWING THAT THE CENTER WAS MOVING BACK AND FORTH ON THE WHEEL. I HAVE PICTURES I CAN SEND IF NEEDED. THESE ARE MADE BY INTERO PARENT COMPANY IS CARLISLE. I KNOW THEY HAVE HAD OTHER RECALLS FOR THERE TRAILER PRODUCTS. THE TRAILER IS A 2000 TAHOE 33FT 5TH WHEEL TRANSPORTER THE WHEELS WERE MADE 12 OF 1999. I KNOW THIS WAS 8 YEARS AGO BUT THIS WHEEL SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE TRAILERS OUT THERE. *TR
