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
DOOLITTLE IS WORKING WITH TREDIT TIRE TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND HAVE THE WHEELS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DOOLITTLE AT 1-573-896-5155.
