WHEELS:DISC:SPIDER

Recalled: March 21, 1985 ~125 units affected 85E012

Description

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.
