What owners ask about this recall

Which vehicles does recall 12E053 cover?
TRP Aluminum Wheel.
What is wrong with them?
PACCAR is recalling certain TRP branded aluminum wheels sold for resale in the aftermarket with one of the following part numbers AW2258B, AW2258M, AW2458B, or AW2458M. The rim markings on these wheels were etched to a depth less than the minimum requirements.
What can happen if it is not put right?
Without proper rim markings, owners may not be able to identify affected wheels in the event of a wheel recall. Defective or noncompliant wheels that are not remedied are at an increased risk of performance failure, and thereby increase the risk of a crash or other safety hazard to motorists.
Is there a fix yet?
Yes, and it is free. PACCAR will notify owners and replace the rims free of charge. The safety recall began on February 8, 2013. Owners may contact PACCAR at 1-425-468-7400.
What should I do now?
Check your own vehicle by its VIN with NHTSA, which is the record to act on. Paccar calls this recall PPD1202, which is the number on the owner letter and the dealer paperwork.
