Defect
The weld securing the spare tire carrier hook is improperly made, causing the weld to detach and the hook to fall off. This allows the spare tire carrier to tilt and, in the worst case, the spare tire may detach while the vehicle is in motion, creating a hazard to other traffic.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the weld condition of the hook mounting. On vehicles that did not receive the supplemental weld reinforcement performed under recall filing number "3406," apply the supplemental weld to reinforce the hook mounting.
