Vision Wheel recall: Wheels
What is wrong
Vision Wheel is recalling certain Prado model after-market wheels; style numbers 901, 902, and 903. The affected wheels may fracture during normal use.
What could happen
A fractured wheel may cause a loss of tire air pressure which may lead to tire failure or the loss of vehicle control. Either scenario may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Vision Wheel will notify owners and distributors, and offer replacement, wheels free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early February 2013. Owners may contact Vision Wheel at 1-800-633-3936.
