That's good news. I won't have to postpone my trip the the Dempster Highway for much longer.

Hey guys - I have a Trailhunter and put 17” wheels on it. So far no issues but I’m worried about the recall. Could you tell me how I can check to see if I’ve got an issue with the brake line clearance? I just posted this video about my wheels / tires this morning.



UPDATE: I looked the the rear brake calipers and brake lines closely — they are pretty damn close .. like half an inch for caliper and 1.5 inch for the line. I think this is one of those “watch it carefully” situations and make sure there’s no rubbing. I’m not sure how it would make contact but if you’re off-roading and something pushes that brake line toward the wheel maybe it could. Or if wheel weights shrink that gap and rub the brake lines. So far it looks ok but I’m mildly concerned. Would like to hear y’all’s thoughts on whether I need to revert back to 18s.

I just got my 2025 yesterday. I will get some pictures of the new lines after work. I was walking around in my bed last night and there is a popping noise happening when I walk around the mid-back of the bed. Hoping it's just a loose spare tire.

Finally got an official notice in the mail yesterday. Nothing new, it just states they are preparing the remedy and we will be notified again when it is ready.
