Recall 12V520000
Wheels — Boatwheels · reported 31 Oct 2012 · 3 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Alumina, Inc., dba Boatwheels, is recalling one model year 2011 PB25-TM1040, one 2011 PB20-TM6000, and one 2011 PB20-SL3500 trailer equipped with certain 908 Yuma, 910 Intruder, and 921 Intrepid series Black Rock toy hauler trailer wheels. Due to a manufacturing defect, the wheels may not be tightened to the proper torque requirements.
The risk
This condition could allow the wheels to loosen, leading to wheel separation, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Alumina will notify owners and direct them to contact the supplier, Carlisle. The affected wheels will be replaced at the owners nearest service center, free of charge. The recall will begin in November 2012. Owners may contact Alumina, Inc. at 1-419-433-2300.
Customers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to www.safercar.gov.
