Recall 1982032

The issue

PICKUP TRUCKS WITH OPTIONAL SIDE-MOUNTED TIRE CARRIERS. THE REINFORCEMENT FOR THE IN-BOX SPARE TIRE CARRIER MAY HAVE BEEN ATTACHED USING INCORRECT HEX HEAD BOLTS. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE OUTER SIDEWALL OF THE SPARE TIRE MAY CONTACT THE SHARP EDGE OF THE BOLT AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN THE ABRASION OF THE SIDEWALL. SUCH ABRASION COULD CAUSE WEAKENING OF THE TIRE SIDEWALL AND WHEN THE SPARE TIRE IS USED AS A REPLACEMENT, IT COULD FAIL WITH SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE AND MIGHT RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.

Description (français)

Le support du porte-roue de secours intérieur peut avoir été fixé avec des boulons hexagonaux de mauvaises dimensions. Sous certaines conditions, le flanc extérieur de la roue de secours peut frotter contre le bord aigu d'un boulon. Ce frottement peut affaiblir le flanc du pneu qui, s'il est utilisé, risque de crever et de faire perdre la maîtrise du véhicule.
