What's wrong?
The spare tire mount on the 2024 Storyteller Overland Gxv Hilt is the bracket and standoff assembly that holds the spare tire to the vehicle body. It has to carry the tire's weight through road vibration, bumps, and normal movement without letting the tire shift or loosen.
On affected vehicles, the supplier did not install the fasteners into the spare tire mount plate to the required specification. Fasteners are the bolts and related hardware that clamp the mount together. If they are not set correctly, the mount can lose its hold on the spare tire, allowing the tire and mount assembly to separate from the vehicle.
There is no warning sign before failure. A mount that looks normal from outside can still have fasteners that were not installed to specification, so owners should treat the defect as hidden until the redesigned spare tire mount and fasteners are installed.
Who's affected?
The same spare tire mount standoff appears under structural fasteners and temporary or emergency spare tire equipment.
