Plain-English summary

Vision Wheels, Inc. is recalling certain aftermarket wheels, specifically the Warrior model in the Phantom Black finish, sizes 17 and 18. The recall affects approximately 4,000 units.

The defect involves insufficient machining of the hub bore. When these wheels are used with a hub centering ring, this issue may result in incorrect wheel mounting. This can cause the wheel and tire assembly to become loose or potentially fall off during vehicle operation, increasing the risk of a crash.

Vision Wheels will notify purchasers of these aftermarket wheels and will replace any wheels found containing an affected hub bore at no cost to the owner. The safety recall began on July 19, 2012. Owners may contact Vision Wheels at 1-800-633-3936 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
