Problem:
On certain trucks, the inner flange of the steer axle wheels may crack. As a result, a piece of the flange could separate from the wheel.
Note: This special warranty program only affects ULA18xxx wheels with a size of 22.5" x 8.25".
UPDATE - When Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) notified Transport Canada about this problem, they believed that it may cause a rapid air loss of a tire. After further investigation, DTNA has determined that this problem would not result in a rapid air loss. Accordingly, this safety recall was withdrawn.
Safety Risk:
This problem does not pose a safety risk.
Corrective Actions:
This is not a recall and will be addressed under a special warranty program offered by Alcoa, the wheel supplier. This notice is for information only and is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. If you notice any cracks on the inner flange of the steer axle wheels, you should contact Alcoa at 1-800-242-9898.
