Origin: France

Alpine passenger car rear wheel rims have incorrect width engraving due to machine error

Country	European Union
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-01-24
Country of origin	France
Manufacturer	Alpine
Models affected	A110 R
Defect	Due to an error in the configuration of the engraving machine, the rim width is incorrectly engraved on the rear wheel rims as 7½ X18CH5-ET35 instead of 8½ X18CH5-ET46. The actual specification of the wheel rims and the wheels fitted to the vehicles is correct, at 8½ X18CH5-ET46. This increases the possibility that unsuitable tyres may be fitted (rim and wheel) in the event of a tyre change. As a result, this can lead to tyre damage and loss of vehicle stability and handling, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.
Remedy	Recall of the product from end users.
Recall number	OR/00007/25
