# Service bulletin TSB 16\-001

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10093041
- Published by NHTSA: 2017\-02\-27

## NHTSA's summary

IN 2016, MERCEDES\-BENZ RELEASED A NEW 2\-PC FLANGE NUT WHEEL FASTENER \(MERCEDES\-BENZ P/N A 000 990 53 53\) WHICH IS TALLER AND HAS A LARGER WASHER DIAMETER THAN THE PREVIOUS 2\-PC FLANGE NUT \(MERCEDES\-BENZ P/N A 000 401 18 72\) USED FOR MODEL YEARS 2007\-2015. DUE TO THE CHANGE IN HEIGHT OF THE 2\-PC FLANGE NUT, ALCOA WHEEL P/N 25080X CANNOT BE USED IN BOTH THE OUTER REAR DUAL POSITION AND INNER REAR DUAL POSITION WITH THE NEW 2\-PC FLANGE NUT AS THIS CREATES A SUB\-FLUSH THREAD ENGAGEMENT CONDITION. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT 2\-PC FLANGE NUTS ARE AT LEAST FLUSH WITH THE END OF THE STUD. THIS COMMUNICATION EXPLAINS HOW ONLY ONE ALCOA WHEEL \(P/N 25080X\) MAY BE USED IN THE DUAL CONFIGURATION TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE THREAD ENGAGEMENT AND FASTENING OF OUR WHEEL.
