Recall 1988017

The issue

ON VEHICLES WITH 17" WHEELS, THE WELD ATTACHING THE WHEEL CENTRE TO THE RIM MAY BE MISSING. DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS, THE WELD CENTRE COULD SEPARATE FROM THE RIM OR ROTATE WITHIN THE RIM. THIS COULD RESULT IN PARTIAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES, LOSS OF TIRE AIR PRESSURE AND SUDDEN CHANGE IN VEHICLE DIRECTION, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: WHEELS WILL BE INSPECTED AND THOSE WITH MISSING WELDS WILL BE REPLACED.

Description (français)

Sur les véhicules équipés de roues de 17 pouces, il se peut que la soudure devant retenir le centre de la roue la jante soit manquante. Dans certaines circonstances, le centre de la roue peut se séparer de la jante ou tourner dans celle-ci. La défectuosité peut nuire au fonctionnement de la direction et des freins, et entraîner le dégonflage du pneu. Le véhicule peut alors se mettre à zigzaguer subitement, ce qui risque de provoquer un accident.
