Defect
On large trucks, the bracket of the side-hung spare tire carrier was designed with insufficient strength. Driving vibration and related stresses cause cracks to form in the bracket. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, the spare tire may detach from the vehicle.

Replace the spare tire carrier bracket on all vehicles with the corrected part.
