## What is wrong

ON VEHICLES WITH 17" WHEELS, THE WELD ATTACHING THE WHEEL CENTRE TO THE RIM MAY BE MISSING. DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS, THE WELD CENTRE COULD SEPARATE FROM THE RIM OR ROTATE WITHIN THE RIM. THIS COULD RESULT IN PARTIAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES, LOSS OF TIRE AIR PRESSURE AND SUDDEN CHANGE IN VEHICLE DIRECTION, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

CORRECTION: WHEELS WILL BE INSPECTED AND THOSE WITH MISSING WELDS WILL BE REPLACED.
