Defect

The spare tire carrier mounted between the axles on refrigerated/freezer trucks was designed with insufficient structural strength. Vibration during vehicle operation may cause the carrier to crack and, in the worst case, fracture and separate from the vehicle, allowing the carrier and spare tire to fall onto the roadway and obstruct other traffic.

Corrective action

Inspect the spare tire carrier on all affected vehicles. Where cracks are found, replace the carrier with the current production part as an interim measure. A permanent corrective measure will be implemented as soon as it is determined.
