DEFECT #1 - WHEELS
Posted on: 2007-07-03
Description
Certain fifth wheel trailers built with 16 steel wheels may leak at the valve stem during inflation or when checking the air pressure due to improper seating of the valve stem. Some models have aluminum wheels with a steel spare and only the spare is affected. Indication of the defect occurs when applying sideways pressure to the valve stem (such as checking the tire pressure). Air will leak through the valve hole in the rim.
Consequence
