NHTSA recall 05V437000
Wheels · NORTHWOOD MFG OF VA
Details
What's wrong: On certain travel 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: Northwood is working with tredit tire to notify owners and have the wheels replaced free of charge. The recall began on October 5, 2005.
