A number of wheel

tire or separation of the wheel rim from the disc could result. |

Consequence: |
If separation and loss of
air occurs while vehicle is in operation, loss of vehicle control and an
accident could occur without prior warning. |

The dealer will inspect
and, if necessary, replace the wheels without charge to owner. |
