Here is a bit more info on the DRV wheel recall.


"DRV is announcing a recall in conjunction with NHTSA. This recall has been posted
to the NHTSA website and will be quickly spreading to dealers and customers and how to direct customers and dealers to handle the situation. At this moment we are preparing to mail information to all customers that will be affected by the recall and we will also be sending the dealers (current and
past) a letter and information on how to handle the situation. If you
receive calls from dealers or retail customers, please do the following:

1. If a customer contacts you please let them know that if they are
affected by the recall they will be receiving information on how to proceed.
In the meantime, they are safe as long as they are following the torqueing
procedures for their wheels as outlined in the owner's manual. Torque needs
to be 150# for a 17.5" wheel and 125# to 140# for a 16" wheel. If they
follow the procedures as outlined they will not have problems.

2. If a dealer contacts you please let them know that nothing is required
by them at this time. We will send them the information on how this will
all work, but this entire recall will start with the customer notifying
dealers that they are needing the recall performed on their unit. Recall
will only be performed on those units listed in the recall and the customer
will know if they are affected when they receive the letter."
