Does this affect my vehicle?
The manufacturer did not publish a build-date range for this recall, so the model and year list below is the only way to tell whether your vehicle is covered.
- Tubeless Duplex Wheel 22.5 X 14.00 15 Degree
What the defect is
Accuride is recalling one tubeless duplex wheel, size 22.5 x 14.00 15 degree, with accuride part number 29627. The wheel is composed of a rim that supports the tire and a disc that are welded into a one piece assembly. The attachment weld between the disc and the rim is missing.
What could happen
A wheel without an attachment weld will not have the structural integrity to support the load of the vehicle and the tire. Any significant side force on the wheel during normal operating conditions and loads could cause the disc to disengage from the rim. If the rim and disc separate, the rim could come off the vehicle possibly causing a crash resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
What gets fixed
THE AFFECTED WHEEL HAS BEEN LOCATED AND REMEDIED; THEREFORE, AN OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER WILL NOT BE ISSUED FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 25, 2011.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 10 May 2011.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
