Details
What's wrong: The steel wheels exhibit fatigue cracking around the circumference of the wheel lug nut mounting surface due to wheel bending caused by frequent misuse of tire mounting equipment, lug nut overtorquing, and the unusual operating conditions experienced by police vehicles.
Why it matters: The cracking can cause wheel fracturing and subsequentseparation from the axle, which could result in a vehicle accident.
The fix: Replace the defective wheels with redesigned steel wheels.
