The problem
On certain trucks, the wheel spacer May become distorted from heat which potentially could lead to a loss of clamp that May result in loose wheel nuts.
The risk
If the wheel nuts loosen for any reason, damage to the wheel studs and wheel May occur, and May lead to a complete separation of the wheels from the truck which could result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the wheel spacers and the wheel equipment (wheels,studs, and hub) will be inspected for damage and replaced if necessary free of charge. The recall began on June 26, 2006. Owners May contact Volvo trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
