What is wrong
Hayes Lemmerz International Commercial Highway, Inc. (Hayes Lemmerz), is recalling certain commercial steel wheels, model 10073 with date codes ending in A030912 and B030912. These wheels were sold as aftermarket/replacement equipment or installed as original equipment on various commercial highway vehicles (highway tractor, truck, trailer and bus applications). Due to an inadequate weld between the wheel disc and rim, the disc can separate from the rim.
What can happen
Separation of the rim and tire from the vehicle can result in a loss of control and a vehicle crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Hayes Lemmerz will notify affected aftermarket/replacement wheel distributors and vehicle manufacturers. The vehicle manufacturers will notify owners of vehicles that may have had the affected wheels installed as original equipment. The recall began in January 2013. Vehicle owners should contact their vehicle manufacturer and owners of the aftermarket wheels should contact their aftermarket distributor. For further information and questions, Hayes Lemmerz may be contacted at 1-734-737-5205.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
