THIS VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH DRIVE AXLE INNER WHEEL NUTS DESIGNED TO ACCEPT FORGED ALUMINUM WHEELS. THESE NUTS HAVE A MALE THREAD WHICH EXTENDS ONLY HALFWAY DOWN TO THE MOUNTING FLANGE. ALTHOUGH THIS IS ADEQUATE WHEN THE OUTER WHEEL IS MADE OF ALUMINUM, THERE WJOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT THREAD ENGAGEMENT SHOULD A STANDARD STEEL SPARE WHEEL BE INSTALLED. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF OUTER WHEEL WITHOUT WARNING, POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY DAMAGE BY THE RUNAWAY WHEEL.
