Defect
On medium-duty trucks, the side-suspended spare tire carrier has an improperly shaped hanger plate. When a tire mounted on an aluminum wheel is secured to the carrier, driving vibration may cause the spare tire to rotate. This rotation causes the carrier chain and hanger plate to interfere and wear against each other, eventually fracturing the chain. In the worst case, the spare tire may detach from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the spare tire carrier will be replaced with the corrected/revised part.
