| Report Received Date: |
August 7, 1979 |
| Summary:
|
The wheel assembly may
contain substandard welds in the area where the disc is attached to the
rim. As a result, cracks can form in the wheel assembly, causing air
loss and an underinflated tire. |
|
Consequence: |
low tire inflation
pressures could cause loss of vehicle control and an accident. Also, if
the spot welds fail, the rim and tire could separate from the wheel
disc, with consequent loss of control and accident. |

Dealer will inspect and
replace any defective wheels without charge to owner. |
