Black Rock recall: Wheels
What is wrong
Carlisle transportation products (ctp) is recalling certain 908 yuma, 910 intruder, and 921 intrepid series black rock toy hauler trailer wheels manufactured from august 9, 2010, through february 7, 2012, sold for and installed as original equipment on various boat, camper, and utility trailer vehicles. These wheels were manufactured with machine dimensions for the application of a center cap and the application of steel lug inserts that were not controlled to the required blue print specifications. As a result, the wheel may not be tightened to proper torque requirements during the mounting process.
What could happen
This condition could allow the wheels to loosen, leading to wheel separation, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. A detached wheel also becomes a road hazard.
The fix
Ctp is working with the vehicle manufacturers to identify and notify owners of vehicles containing the affected wheels. Dealers will repair or replace affected wheels free of charge. The safety recall began on april 13, 2012. Owners may contact the ctp customer care department at 1-909-923-2710 or their vehicle manufacturer.
