THESE WHEELS ARE MADE OF TWO PIECES, A DISC AND A RIM, WHICH ARE FILLET WELDED TOGETHER TO FORM A FINISHED ASSEMBLY. THE FILLET WELD WAS OMITTED IN THESE WHEELS. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: POSSIBILITY OF DISC AND RIM SEPARATION RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND VEHICLE CRASH WITH PERSONAL INJURIES.

DISCS WHICH HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN STAMPED WITH PART NUMBER 27125 FOR USE WITH WHEELS HAVING THAT PART NUMBER WERE WELDED TO RIMS FOR WHEELS HAVING PART NUMBER 27123. THE DISCS USED IN BOTH WHEEL ASSEMBLIES ARE IDENTICAL, THE RESULTING PART THEREFORE IS STRUCTURALLY CORRECT. HOWEVER, THE 27126 WHEEL USES A 20X7.0 CR 5 DEGREE BEADSEAT RIM AND THE 27123 WHEEL USES A 20X6.5 5 DEGREE BEADSEAT RIM. A DIFFERENT SIZE TIRE IS USED WITH EACH OF THESE RIMS. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO ASSEMBLE AN IMPROPER TIRE/WHEEL COMBINATION. RESULTS OF THIS COULD BE OVERHEATING AND/OR TIRE CONTACT WHERE USED AS DUALS. IF THIS OCCURS THE TIRE MAY FAIL AND LOSS OF CONTROL MAY BE EXPERIENCED.

THE INVOLVED WHEELS FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THEN PASSENGER CARS. THESE WHEELS WERE INCORRECTLY STAMPED TO INDICATE SIZE 22.5 X 8.25 RATHER THAN 24.5 X 8.25.
