Why the product is recalled
In some products, the outer part of the hubcap can move slowly over time, resulting in the outer part of the hubcap rubbing on and cutting into the valve stem.
What the hazards are to consumers
If the valve stems are cut, there could be a loss of air in the tyre tube, resulting in a flat tyre.
What consumers should do
Affected consumers should contact RSP to arrange for the return of their wheel trim for a replacement set. The recall affects only wheel trims purchased from 4 January 2008 to 18 October 2011. Wheel trims purchased from March 2012 are not affected.
