Affected: 1988-91 BONNEVILLE MODELS


CONDITION: Crosslace Wheel Covers falling off wheels.


CAUSE: The Crosslace Wheel Cover is not being installed correctly.

Figure 1:

CORRECTION: Position the cover plate into the recess of the aluminum wheel, aligning the recess in the cover plate over the raised locator on the wheel. The cover plate must be installed over the raised locator on the wheel so the cover plate cannot (walk) move, which causes the threaded hub ornament to loosen up and eventually fall off the wheel. See Figure 1.
