Chrome Spare Wheel Corrosion (Replace Spare Wheel)

Subject:Chrome Spare Wheel Corrosion (Replace Spare Wheel)

Models:2006-2008 HUMMER H3



Condition

Some customers may comment on corrosion of the chrome spare wheel.

Cause

This may be due to accumulation of salt and moisture deposits that do not get disposed of by the centrifugal force and heat that a road wheel experiences.

Correction

Replace the spare wheel with a new aluminum polished version wheel, P/N 9598240 (RPO QB8) or P/N 9598239 (RPO QB9) to prevent reoccurrences of the corrosion condition. If this alternative is not acceptable to the customer, replace with an OEM wheel.
