RevHD Recalls Oil Hubcaps Due to Fire and Crash Risk

RevHD is recalling specific oil and PSI oil hubcaps because the lens may become loose, causing lubricant leaks that can overheat wheel bearings and increase the risk of fire or a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk of fire and crash due to a structural component failure (loose lens/lubricant leak), but the source text does not report any actual injuries, deaths, or fires, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

RevHD is recalling certain oil and PSI oil hubcaps with part numbers RHO-T03, -S01, and -T04, in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 8 inches. The defect involves the lens on the hubcaps, which may become loose. This looseness can cause lubricant to leak out of the wheel end.

The loss of lubricant in the wheel end can cause the wheel bearings to overheat, which increases the risk of a fire. Additionally, a loose hubcap lens can detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific incidents of fire, injury, or death associated with this defect.

Owners of the affected hubcaps should contact RevHD customer service at 1-615-752-8628 to arrange for a free refund or replacement of the hubcaps. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 3, 2023. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
