IMPORTANT VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL NOTICE
For Distributors and Retailers
Release Date: August 25, 2022
Release Number: 001
Recall Summary
Name of Products: MW Co. WELD Off Road 17×9, + 0, 8 lugs Crux Wheels Product No. W12079017500 or W12079018500 or W12079082500 or W11979017500 or W11979018500 or W11979082500 purchased between December 2021 and the Release Date.
Description of defect or noncompliance: We have learned of an event in which it was claimed that the WELD Off Road 17×9, + 0, 8 lugs Crux Wheels failed. As we took safety very seriously we run different test on this wheel model and size and we concluded that these wheels may be susceptible to cracking.
Evaluation of the risk to motor vehicle safety:
If a wheel crack remains undetected, it could eventually lead to separation of the wheel from the rim, which could potentially cause a loss of vehicle control. The separated components may also damage the adjacent wheel end, suspension or body panel components and result in hazardous road debris. To date, there have been no reports of accidents, injuries, or fatalities related to this condition, and only minor property damage (i.e., damage to the wheel end and adjacent components) has been reported in connection with this issue.
Remedy: Replace or Refund
Distributors and retailers should immediately quarantine the products, cease sales, and return the wheels to MW Co. Distributors. Contact MW Co. at 1-888-576 9638 to arrange the return of the wheels. Retailers should also notify MW Co. of the customer list. To the extent that a customer list is not provided to us, distributors and retailers should send the customer recall announcement to the customer.
Remedy will be available as of December 2022 with modified wheels with same design and fitment.
Advisory: It is a violation of federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied.
Consumer Contact: WELD Off Road at 1-800-788-9353 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or via e-mail sales@mw.company, or via mail at Weld Off Road, 6600 Stadium Drive, Kansas City, MO, 64129, for more information.

Chronology :
On August 23, 2022, MW received one consumer complaint which claimed that in one event, the WELD Off Road Wheel 17″ 8 lugs CRUX failed due to cracking. The report indicated no accidents, injuries, fatalities, or warranty claims. There have been no other reports claiming that the WELD Off Road Wheel 17″ 8 lugs CRUX failed due to cracking. To date, there have been no reports of accidents, injuries, or fatalities related to these wheels. Only minor property damage (i.e., damage to the wheel end and adjacent components) has been reported in connection with this issue.
On August 29, 2022, MW engineers and third-party labs conducted Dynamic Radial Fatigue and Dynamic Cornering Fatigue tests per SAE J2530 Aftermarket Wheel Performance Requirements testing of this wheel model and size in inventory. In an abundance of caution, MW notified customers and retailers prior to this report on August 25th, August 29th, and September 28th.
These early notifications allowed MW to pull these products from the market to give MW time to conduct testing and make a determination without putting other customers at risk. MW tested the inventory and corresponded with the manufacturer for testing and review of the initial case. The test results were released on October 3, 2022, and showed that the wheels were susceptible to cracking, especially when used with tires having larger outer diameters.
MW considered that wheel cracks, if left undetected, could eventually lead to separation of the wheel from the rim, which could potentially cause a loss of vehicle control. Based on these tests and in an abundance of caution, MW determined on October 3, 2022, that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in the wheels listed in this report.

Xiamen Foreign States Country : China Chronology :
On August 23, 2022, MW received one consumer complaint which claimed that in one event, the WELD Off Road Wheel 17″ 8 lugs CRUX failed due to cracking. The report indicated no accidents, injuries, fatalities, or warranty claims. There have been no other reports claiming that the WELD Off Road Wheel 17″ 8 lugs CRUX failed due to cracking. To date, there have been no reports of accidents, injuries, or fatalities related to these wheels. Only minor property damage (i.e., damage to the wheel end and adjacent components) has been reported in connection with this issue. On August 29, 2022, MW engineers and third-party labs conducted Dynamic Radial Fatigue and Dynamic Cornering Fatigue tests per SAE J2530 Aftermarket Wheel Performance Requirements testing of this wheel model and size in inventory. In an abundance of caution, MW notified customers and retailers prior to this report on August 25th, August 29th, and September 28th. These early notifications allowed MW to pull these products from the market to give MW time to conduct testing and make a determination without putting other customers at risk. MW tested the inventory and corresponded with the manufacturer for testing and review of the initial case. The test results were released on October 3, 2022, and showed that the wheels were susceptible to cracking, especially when used with tires having larger outer diameters. MW considered that wheel cracks, if left undetected, could eventually lead to separation of the wheel from the rim, which could potentially cause a loss of vehicle control. Based on these tests and in an abundance of caution, MW determined on October 3, 2022, that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in the wheels listed in this report. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-097 Page 8 Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Consumers are eligible for a replacement of modified wheels with the
same design and fitment at no cost or a refund beginning December 2022.

Description of the Defect : MW learned of one event related to the SKU W12079017500 in which it was claimed that the WELD Off Road Wheel 17″ 8 lugs CRUX failed due to cracking. We are conducting a voluntary recall of all SKUS listed above because these wheels may be susceptible to cracking, especially when used with tires having larger outer diameters.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : To date, there have been no reports of accidents, injuries, or fatalities related to these wheels, and only minor property damage (i.e., damage to the wheel end and adjacent components) has been reported in connection with this issue. However, if a wheel crack remains undetected, it could eventually lead to separation of the wheel from the rim, which could potentially cause a loss of vehicle control. This defect may cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. The separated components may also damage the adjacent wheel end, suspension or body panel components and result in hazardous road debris.
Description of the Cause : The cause of the cracking is unknown at this time. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : Tires may lose air.

Xiamen Foreign States Country : China Chronology :
On August 23, 2022, MW received one consumer complaint which claimed that in one event, the WELD Off Road Wheel 17″ 8 lugs CRUX failed due to cracking. The report indicated no accidents, injuries, fatalities, or warranty claims. There have been no other reports claiming that the WELD Off Road Wheel 17″ 8 lugs CRUX failed due to cracking. To date, there have been no reports of accidents, injuries, or fatalities related to these wheels. Only minor property damage (i.e., damage to the wheel end and adjacent components) has been reported in connection with this issue. On August 29, 2022, MW engineers and third-party labs conducted Dynamic Radial Fatigue and Dynamic Cornering Fatigue tests per SAE J2530 Aftermarket Wheel Performance Requirements testing of this wheel model and size in inventory. In an abundance of caution, MW notified customers and retailers prior to this report on August 25th, August 29th, and September 28th. These early notifications allowed MW to pull these products from the market to give MW time to conduct testing and make a determination without putting other customers at risk. MW tested the inventory and corresponded with the manufacturer for testing and review of the initial case. The test results were released on October 3, 2022, and showed that the wheels were susceptible to cracking, especially when used with tires having larger outer diameters. MW considered that wheel cracks, if left undetected, could eventually lead to separation of the wheel from the rim, which could potentially cause a loss of vehicle control. Based on these tests and in an abundance of caution, MW determined on October 3, 2022, that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in the wheels listed in this report. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-097 Page 8 Description of Remedy :
