What's wrong

The problem

DUAL REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLIES MAY FAIL DUE TO AN INADEQUATE ADAPTER WHICH MAY CAUSE AN AXLE TO BREAK, AND IMPROPER MAINTENANCE OF TORQUE ON THE LUG NUTS WHICH MAY CAUSE THE WHEEL STUDS TO BREAK. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: CONTINUED USE OF THESE WHEELS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND POSSIBLY AN ACCIDENT.

What to do

The fix

REPLACE DUAL REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLIES AND MOUNT EXISTING TIRES ON RIMS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED. ALSO, PROVIDE STICKERS TO BE PLACED IN A CONSPICUOUS LOCATION TO EMPHASIZE THE NECESSITY TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED TORQUE PROCEDURE.
