LIMItED WARRANtY
FOR HEAVY DUtY tRUCkS, tRUCk tRAILERS,
BUSES, RV and MOtORHOME WHEELS
(Wheels with bead seat diameters measured in .5 inch
increments and Alcoa tube type wheels)
Alcoa warrants to the original purchaser, from Alcoa or its authorized distributor,
that a new Alcoa aluminum disc heavy duty truck, truck trailer, bus, 19.5-inch and
22.5-inch RV or motorhome wheel is free from defects in material and workmanship.
Alcoa agrees, without charge, to repair or replace a wheel that fails in normal use
and service because of defects in material and workmanship. truck, truck trailer,
Dura-Flange® and the Dura-Bright® surface treatment wheels not used in transit
service are warranted for 60 months from the date of manufacture as shown on the
wheel except the Dura-Flange® rim flange treatment is warranted for a period of
24 months. Alcoa bus mount wheels (10-hole, 11.25 inch bolt circle, 8.670 inch hub
bore with 1.22 inch diameter bolt holes) and other wheels used in transit service
are warranted for 120 months from date of manufacture, except the Dura-Bright®
surface treatment on bus and transit service wheels is warranted for a period of 60
months from the date of manufacture and the Dura-Flange® rim flange treatment is
warranted for 24 months against sharp edges. Satin finish, polished and Dura-Bright®
surface treatment 19.5-inch and 22.5-inch RV and motorhome wheels are warranted
for 120 months from the date of manufacture as shown on the wheel. Alcoa does not
warrant and will not repair or replace or make adjustment with respect to any wheel
that has been subjected to misuse or abuse including the following:
(a) Using a tire that is oversized according to standards recommended by the tire and
Rim Association, Inc. or other recognized tire and rim agencies such as EtRtO
(Europe) or others;
(b) Loading the wheel beyond the applicable maximum wheel load as specified by
Alcoa;
(c) Inflating beyond the applicable maximum as specified by Alcoa;
(d) Changing the original condition of the wheel by alteration or by subjecting it to
any processing such as welding or straightening.
(e) Accidents, abnormal or severe operating conditions including without limitation
tire fires, brake fires, severe brake system drags or seizures or running with a flat
tire; or
(f) Failure to follow maintenance and other instructions and warnings set forth
in the Alcoa Wheel Service Manual, Alcoa technical Bulletins and other Alcoa
literature. Recommended maintenance includes, without limitation, using
proper torque, periodic cleaning, polishing, valve replacement, periodic
inspection for damage, loose lug nuts and rim flange wear inspections and
procedures.
(g) Nicks, scratches and other surface blemishes resulting from improper
maintenance, cleaning, road debris, curbing, accident or operation are not
warrantable.
(h) Rim flange wear (other than Dura-Flange® ) is not warrantable.
(i) Damage due to cleaning with abrasives, abrasive brushes, steel wool, scouring
pads, or strong chemicals (acids or alkaline).
Dura-Bright® Surface treated Wheels are warranted against:
(a) Filiform corrosion (worm or hair like lines, generally milky in appearance,
underneath surface protective treatment and emanating from damage to the
surface treatment such as nicks, scratches or damage from mounting hardware
or wheel weights)
(b) Blistering due to loss of adhesion of the surface treatment,
(c) Lift off of the surface treatment due to physical damage (nicks, scratches, gouges)
If nicks, dings, scratches or other damage does occur to the Dura-Bright® treatment
that exposes the aluminum underneath, the metal exposed may naturally oxidize,
but any corrosion will be confined to the metal exposed and will not extend into or
underneath the Dura-Bright® treatment.
Normally, any washing materials or chemicals (including mild acid washes) that can
safely be used on a vehicle, its painted surfaces and components, can safely be used on
the Dura-Bright® surface treatment. the Dura-Bright® treatment prevents corrosion
of aluminum wheels and protects their shine. So long as the treatment remains in place
(see comments (g) and (h) above) and is maintained in accordance with the Alcoa
Dura-Bright® Care and Maintenance manual, it is warranted against corrosion. If
corrosion does occur within the treatment warranty period, subject to the limitations
stated above, Alcoa will replace any wheel exhibiting such corrosion.
there is no warranty that the wheel shall be merchantable or fit
for any particular purpose, nor is there any other warranty, express
or implied, except such as is expressly set forth herein.
Alcoa shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential
damages for any breach of warranty, its liability and the purchaser's
exclusive remedy being limited to repair or replacement of the wheel
as stated in this limited warranty.
