97V066000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Drum:Drum
Reported: 1997-04-21 (April 21, 1997)
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: GLAVAL CONVERSION VANS AND PICKUP TRUCKS. THE RETAINER CLIPS WERE NOT REMOVED FROM THE REAR BRAKE DRUM WHEEL STUD BOLTS PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF A CUSTOM WHEEL.
Consequence: THE WHEEL CAN APPEAR TO BE OR CAN ACTUALLY GO OUT OF BALANCE AND COULD CRACK IN THE LUG NUT AREA INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WHEELS AND REMOVE THE RETAINER CLIPS IF STILL IN PLACE AND ALSO INSPECT WHEELS FOR CRACKS (INCLUDING THE FRONT WHEELS, IF THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED). IF THE WHEELS ARE CRACKED IN THE LUG NUT AREA, THE WHEELS WILL BE REPLACED.
