What NHTSA recorded

The steel used in some compact spare wheels is too thin. While in service the wheel may fracture, resulting in a partial or complete separation of the wheel and tire from the vehicle.

Remedy

Spare wheels will be replaced without charge to owners within 60 days of recall notification.
