2005 Sunnybrook 31BWKS problems

What is wrong

On certain towable, non-motorized, travel trailers and fifth wheel recreational vehicles equipped with tredit wheels, the rims may have poor weld quality and insufficient press fit between the wheel rim and disc.

Risk

The center of the wheel could separate from the rim. The wheel may wobble and cause a vibration or the mounted tire could lose air causing the tire to go flat, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Sunnybrook is working with tredit tire to notify owners and have the wheels replaced. The recall began on october 28, 2005. Owners may contact sunnybrook at 574‑825‑5250.
