- [2005161](/recalls/tc/2005161.md), 2005-05-20: Wheels. Certain vehicle may have a manufacturing flaw that could cause the wheels to crack under long term driving fatigue.  If cracks occur, wheel noise and vibration will result, becoming progressively worse.  If the crack is severe, the wheel could separate from the vehicle which could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash.  Correction: Dealers will replace all four wheels.

If this occurs, fuel leakage can result and fire may occur if an ignition source is present.  Correction:  Dealer will install a redesigned fuel distributor and main fuel tube assembly.
