The issue

Certain conventional and fifth wheel travel trailers equipped with the optional "Aluminum Wheels" may not have had the proper wheel lug nut torque applied before leaving the manufacturing plant. Additionally, the owner's manual may not contain the correct lug nut torque information for these optional "Aluminum Wheel". Vehicle operation without the proper torque applied to the wheel lug nuts could possibly result in wheel lug nuts becoming loose. Continued vehicle operation under these conditions could cause a wheel separation which could result in a crash. Correction: Dealer will torque the wheel lug nuts to the proper specifications and supply owners with an insert to be added to the owner's manual.

Description (français)

Les écrous de montage des roues en aluminium offertes en option sur certaines caravanes classiques et semi-caravanes n'ont peut-être pas été assez serrés à l'usine. De plus, le manuel du propriétaire pourrait ne pas contenir les bonnes informations concernant le serrage des écrous de montage de ces roues en aluminium. Dans ces conditions, les écrous de montage pourraient se desserrer. Une utilisation continue du véhicule dans ces conditions pourrait causer la séparation d'une roue et provoquer un accident. Correction : Le concessionnaire devra resserrer les écrous de montage des roues et donner au propriétaire un encart que celui-ci devra ajouter à son manuel du propriétaire.
