What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

DUAL REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLIES MAY FAIL DUE TO AN INADEQUATE ADAPTER WHICH MAY CAUSE AN AXLE TO BREAK, AND IMPROPER MAINTENANCE OF TORQUE ON THE LUG NUTS WHICH MAY CAUSE THE WHEEL STUDS TO BREAK. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: CONTINUED USE OF THESE WHEELS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND POSSIBLY AN ACCIDENT.

The remedy

REPLACE DUAL REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLIES AND MOUNT EXISTING TIRES ON RIMS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED. ALSO, PROVIDE STICKERS TO BE PLACED IN A CONSPICUOUS LOCATION TO EMPHASIZE THE NECESSITY TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED TORQUE PROCEDURE.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MICRO MINI MOTORHOMES BUILT ON TOYOTA CHASSIS USINGARROWCRAFT ADAPTERS ON THE DUAL REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY.SYSTEM: WHEEL ASSEMBLY, DUAL REAR.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
