Recall 97V066000: Wheels Cracking in Lug Nut Area

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. 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. 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 tire shave been rotated). If the wheels are cracked in the lug nut area, the wheels will be replaced. Owner Notification: Owner notification is expected to begin during May 1997.

NOTE: 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 Glaval at 1-800-348-3708. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
