What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the missing weld could cause the wheel to separate, potentially resulting in a crash with property damage, personal injury, or death.

Plain-English summary

Accuride Corporation is recalling one tubeless duplex wheel, size 22.5 x 14.00 15 degree, with part number 29627. The wheel consists of a rim and a disc welded into a one-piece assembly, but the attachment weld between the disc and the rim is missing.

A wheel without this attachment weld lacks the structural integrity to support the vehicle and tire load. Significant side forces during normal operation could cause the disc to disengage from the rim. If the rim and disc separate, the rim could come off the vehicle, potentially causing a crash resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

The affected wheel has been located and remedied. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign. The recall began on April 25, 2011. Owners may contact Accuride at 1-800-869-2275 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
