What was wrong

Defect

ON CERTAIN TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH TREDIT WHEELS, THE RIMS MAY HAVE POOR WELD QUALITY AND INSUFFICIENT PRESS FIT BETWEEN THE WHEEL RIM AND DISC.

Risk

THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL COULD SEPARATE FROM THE RIM. THE WHEEL MAY WOBBLE AND CAUSE A VIBRATION OR THE MOUNTED TIRE COULD LOSE AIR CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Manufacturer remedy

SINCE ONLY ONE TRAILER WAS INVOLVED AND HAD NOT YET BEEN SOLD, TRAILS WEST NOTIFIED THE DEALER INVOLVED ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2005.
