The defect

Certain vehicles may have been equipped with the wrong size wheels. These wheels have a lower load carrying capacity which could lead to trailer overloading, rim material separation in the bead seat area, loss of air and possible separation of tire and rim from the trailer.

The remedy

Owners should inspect their wheels, including the spare, for a marking of "15 x 5". These will be replaced by "15 x 6" wheels without charge to owners.
