The short version

CALIFORNIA TRAILER WORKS, INC. reported a problem with the wheels. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

These wheels were manufactured with machine dimensions for the application of a center cap and the application of steel lug inserts that were not controlled to the required specifications. As a result, the wheel may not be tightened to the proper torque during the mounting process.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the wheels are not tightened to the proper torque, the wheels could loosen, leading to wheel separation, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. A detached wheel also becomes a road hazard.

WHAT TO DO

CTW will notify owners, and dealers will repair or replace affected wheels free of charge.
