The issue
A CRACKING CONDITION COULD DEVELOP IN THE SEVEN SPOKE FRONT AND REAR CAST WHEELS. IF NOT DETECTED, THESE CRACKS COULD PROPOGATE THROUGH THE SPOKES AND CAUSE THE WHEEL HUB AND RIM TO SEPARATE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: WHEELS WILL BE REPLACED WITH WHEELS OF A DIFFERENT TESTED DESIGN.
