Recall 05V-459: 2005–2006 J&l Enclosed Trailer
J&L'S CARGO EXPRESS recall for wheels, reported to NHTSA on Oct 4, 2005, covering about 21 vehicles.
The problem
On certain enclosed cargo trailers equipped with tredit wheels, the rims may have poor weld quality and insufficient press fit between the wheel rim and disc.
The risk
The center of the wheel could separate from the rim. The wheel may wobble and cause a vibration or the mounted tire could lose air causing the tire to go flat, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
J&l's is working with tredit tire to notify owners and have the wheels replaced with a 16" aluminum wheel. The recall began on october 25, 2005. Owners may contact j&l's at 547-848-7441.
