Defect

On the side-mounted spare tire carrier used on medium-duty trucks, the hanger plate geometry is improper. When a tire mounted on an aluminum wheel is secured to the carrier, road vibration during driving may cause the spare tire to rotate. This rotation can twist and sever the carrier chain, allowing the spare tire to fall from the vehicle.

Corrective action

Replace the spare tire carrier on all vehicles with a corrected part. Notify customers of proper spare tire carrier handling procedures.
