NHTSA Complaint #10574608 — 2009 HONDA ACCORD

ON OCTOBER 30 2013 I RECEIVED A CERTIFIED LETTER TO INFORM ME OF A LKQ WHEEL RECALL. THIS RECALL IS FOR A NEW AFTERMARKET WHEEL IDENTIFIED AS 2009 HONDA ACCORD. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE ALONG WITH NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS TO GET INFORMATION ON WHAT HAS PROMPTED THIS RECALL. THAT BEING SAID I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE MONITORING OF AFTERMARKET PARTS RECALLS. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A VIABLE WAY TO GET THESE WHEELS OFF THE ROADWAYS. SHOPS THAT PURCHASED THESE WHEELS SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON TO INFORM THEIR CONSUMERS OF THE DANGEROUS WHEELS. THE COMPANY THAT SENT OUT RECALL IS LKQ-KEYSTONE CORPORATION. WHEEL PART NUMBER ALY63934U20N IN THIS RECALL THEY STATE " THIS RECALL IS BEING CONDUCTED DUE TO POTENTIAL DEFECTS WHICH COULD CAUSE THE WHEEL TO FAIL, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR. I SEE THIS AS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS INCIDENT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS EXTREMELY SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR
