DEFECT #1 - WHEELS:CENTER SECTION
Posted on: 2001-07-19
Description
Vehicle description: trailers equipped with hubs provided by webb wheel products. These truck trailer disc wheel hubs have direct-machined anti-lock braking systems (abs), part number 2023a. The abs teeth are machined into the inner face of the hub bore, and the teeth are machined off center from the center of the hub. The speed sensor of the abs system reads the tooth pattern and sends erroneous signals to the abs control unit.
Consequence
This condition can cause the abs system to cycle rapidly and extend stopping distances during an abs controlled brake application possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the hubs. Webb wheel is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact webb wheel at 1-800-633-3256 or summit at 1-800-437-3729.
