The issue
Certain conventional and fifth wheel travel trailers equipped with aluminium wheels may not have had the proper wheel lug nut torque applied. Additionally, paint applied to the mating surface of the hub may cause the lug nuts to be more sensitive to loosening during the initial settling-in of components and after a wheel has been removed for service. Correction: Dealers will inspect, repair, or replace any damaged wheels, lug nuts and studs. Wheel lug nuts will be torqued to specs.
Description (français)
Les écrous des roues d'aluminium de certaines roulottes à sellette et caravanes classiques pourraient ne pas avoir été serrés adéquatement. De plus, de la peinture appliquée sur la surface d'accouplement du moyeu pourrait faire en sorte que les écrous aient plus tendance à se desserrer pendant le rodage des pièces et après qu'une roue ait été enlevée pour son entretien. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter, réparer ou remplacer les roues, les écrous et les goujons endommagés. On devra serrer les écrous des roues d'aluminium au couple recommandé.
