    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Hayes Lemmerz International Commercial Highway, Inc. (Hayes Lemmerz), is recalling certain commercial steel wheels, model 10073 with date codes ending in A030912 and B030912. These wheels were sold as aftermarket/replacement equipment or installed as original equipment on various commercial highway vehicles (highway tractor, truck, trailer and bus applications). Due to an inadequate weld between the wheel disc and rim, the disc can separate from the rim.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Separation of the rim and tire from the vehicle can result in a loss of control and a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Hayes Lemmerz will notify affected aftermarket/replacement wheel distributors and vehicle manufacturers. The vehicle manufacturers will notify owners of vehicles that may have had the affected wheels installed as original equipment. The recall began in January 2013. Vehicle owners should contact their vehicle manufacturer and owners of the aftermarket wheels should contact their aftermarket distributor. For further information and questions, Hayes Lemmerz may be contacted at 1-734-737-5205.

    Wheels

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Eight spoke trailer wheels and modula trailer wheels. The defect is due to an incorrect label that was placed on the trailer wheels during production from september 2001 through february 2002. The incorrect label advises users to torque cone nuts to 175-225 lb-ft and flange nuts to 275-325 lb-ft. The correct label advises the users to torque wheel nuts to 90-120 lb-ft.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the user torques the nuts in accordance with the incorrect label, the nuts could deform the mounting area of the trailer wheel and allow the trailer wheel to loosen. The trailer wheel could come off, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Hayes lemmerz will notify its customers and provide remedy free of charge. If the nuts on the trailer wheels have not been over torgued, correct labels will be provided to be permanently affixed over the incorrect label. If the wheels have been over torqued, new parts will be installed free of charge. Owner notification is expected to begin during december 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact hayes lemmerz at 800-236-2804.
