Description
On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with 16, 6-bolt aluminum wheel option with 5.5 bolt circles, foreign material may be present in the 'clamp joint' (mating surface between the wheel and hub face. This can hinder the proper torque of the lug nuts if the nuts are not installed with the proper torque during manufacture, re-tightened during the initial 'seating in' period and/or there is a failure to follow the maintenance procedures.
