2002 Rialta Rialta recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: motor homes (models 222FD, 222QD, and 222HD). The wheel cover CAN rotate while mounted on the wheel.
💥 The risk
If the cover rotates to the valve stem, a condition exists that could shear the valve stem off, leading to a rapid deflation of the tire. This rapid tire air loss could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, potentially resulting in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the rubber valve stems and wheel covers. Owner notification began october 18, 2001. 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 winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
