The issue
VEHICLES PRODUCED BETWEEN SEPT. 19 AND OCT. 19, 1978. SOME 15 X 5.5 INCH WHEEL ASSEMBLIES MAY HABE SUB-STANDARD SPOT WELDS AT THE DISC TO RIM ATTACHMENT THAT COULD RESULT IN METAL FATIGUE CRACKS IN THE WHEEL RIM. THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE AIR LOSS RESULTING IN TIRE UNDERINFLATION AND POSSIBLE TIRE BLOWOUT. ALSO, IF ALL SPOT WELDS WERE TO FAIL, THE RIM AND TIRE WOULD SEPARATE FROM THE WHEEL DISC RESULTING IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
