The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with chrome plated aluminum wheels, the wheels may have a mounting surface that was not machined correctly. This would cause the wheel studs to break and the tire and wheel assembly to separate from the vehicle. If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, a vehicle crash could result without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will inspect wheels and replace all wheels with date codes indicating that they may not have been machined correctly. The wheel mounting studs at any location where a suspect wheel was installed will also be replaced.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules équipés de roues en aluminium chromées, il se peut que la surface de montage de ces roues ait été mal usinée. Il se pourrait alors que les boulons de montage se brisent et que la roue se détache du véhicule. Si cela se produit alors que le véhicule est en marche, un accident peut s’ensuivre. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les roues et remplacer toutes celles dont le code de datation indique qu’elles auraient pu être mal usinées. Tous les boulons de montage des roues suspectes devront aussi être remplacés.
