The 2000 Volvo WX has two recalls of equal severity, with the more consequential being a rim defect where a crack can develop and cause the wheel to separate from the truck while driving.
The affected rims are Accuride 22.5 x 8.25 tubeless demountable units, where a flaw in the mounting ring weld can grow over time until the ring fails entirely. On the suspension side, this recall affects 6x4 trucks equipped with Chalmers 800 series suspension kits, where a weld connecting the torque rod eye to the torque rod tube can fail and allow an axle to break free, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
