The issue
Certain trailers originally equipped with white/silver (spoke or modular design) steel wheels may have poor weld quality between the wheel center disk and outer rim. The wheels which have a six (6) hole bolt pattern were manufactured by Xingmin Wheel and bear the rim stamp "07 10 06 Z" or "08 10 16 B" on the back side of the rim. The poor weld could cause the outer rim portion of the wheel to fail. A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a loss of control and a crash. In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander. Both problems could cause property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the wheels for the specific rim identification markings and replace as necessary.
Description (français)
Certaines remorques équipés à l'origine de roues en acier (à rayons ou modulaires) blanches/argent pourraient comporter une soudure de mauvaise qualité entre le voile et la partie extérieure de la roue. Les roues qui ont six (6) orifices de montage ont été fabriquées par Xingmin Wheel et portent l'inscription « 07 10 06 Z » ou « 08 10 16 B » à l'arrière de la roue. La soudure de mauvaise qualité fera en sorte que la partie extérieure de la roue et le pneu se détacheront du véhicule, ce qui augmentera les risques que se produisent des dommages matériels ou un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront vérifier les marques d'identification des roues et remplacer les roues visées.
