H&H TRAILER COMPANY recall 05V-420 covers 6 2005–2006 H&h Trailer Trailer for a wheels: rim problem, reported to NHTSA on September 21, 2005.
Source: NHTSA recall 05V420000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLE TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH TREDIT WHEELS, THE RIMS MAY HAVE POOR WELD QUALITY AND INSUFFICIENT PRESS FIT BETWEEN THE WHEEL RIM AND DISC.
The risk
THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL COULD SEPARATE FROM THE RIM. THE WHEEL MAY WOBBLE AND CAUSE A VIBRATION OR THE MOUNTED TIRE COULD LOSE AIR CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
H&H IS WORKING WITH TREDIT TIRE TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND HAVE THE WHEELS REPLACED. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT H&H AT 712-589-3100.
CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.
