HISPEC ALUMINUM TRAILER WHEEL
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
HISPEC Wheel and Tire, Inc. is recalling certain 16" split spoke aluminum trailer wheels with 6 or 8 lugs. A crack can develop in the spoke of the wheel, which can lead to additional cracks and potential failure. If the wheel is not removed from service, a complete wheel failure could occur, causing the entire wheel and tire to separate from the trailer and potentially resulting in a crash.
HISPEC is working with distributors and vehicle manufacturers to identify and notify owners of affected wheels. All affected wheels will be replaced free of charge. The safety recall began in March 2012. Owners of affected wheels should contact HISPEC at 1-800-549-4012.
