These wheels were sold as aftermarket/replacement equipment or installed as original equipment in various commercial highway tractors, trucks and bus applications. Due to an inadequate weld between the wheel disc and rim, the disc can separate from the rim. |
Consequence:
Separation of the rim and tire from the vehicle can result in a loss of control and a vehicle crash. |
Remedy:
Hayes Lemmerz will notify affected aftermarket/replacement wheel distributors and vehicle manufacturers. The vehicle manufacturers will notify owners of vehicles that may have had the affected wheels installed as original equipment. The recall is expected to begin on, or before, November 5, 2012. Vehicle owners should contact their vehicle manufacturer and owners of the aftermarket wheels should contact their aftermarket distributor. For further information and questions, Hayes Lemmerz may be contacted at 1-734-737-5205. |
