Defect

The weld securing the spare tire carrier mounting bracket to the vehicle body is improperly assembled. Vibration during driving may cause the weld to separate. If the vehicle continues to be used in this condition, the carrier may detach from the body and, in the worst case, the spare tire may fall from the vehicle.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the weld condition of the mounting bracket and, where the defect is found, apply additional welding.
