NHTSA recall 05V391000
Wheels · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with tredit wheels, the rims may have poor weld quality and insufficient press fit between the wheel rim and disc.
Why it matters: 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.
The fix: Newmar is working with tredit tire to notify owners and have the rims replaced. The recall began on October 17, 2005.
