Defect
On disc wheels used on heavy-duty trucks, improper die adjustment during rim forming causes the rim geometry to deviate, concentrating stress at the weld joint between the rim and disc and leaving the weld with insufficient strength. Continued use allows cracks to develop at the weld joint, and in the worst case, the disc wheel may fracture.
Corrective action
Inspect the manufacturing number of the disc wheel on all vehicles. Replace any affected disc wheels with conforming units.

改善措置
全車両、ディスクホイールの製造番号を点検し、対象となるものは良品に交換する。
